[Panda230i]

I sold my 2007 335i (e92) and I got 2023 BMW 230i xdrive from an auction (g42, base bumper trim). The rear bumper is completely damaged.

Can I order M-Trim bumper kit from 240i and install it on my 230i? From what I can see at least on the online bmw dealer websites, these rear bumpers would fit. But nobody from actual dealerships was able to confirm that.

Also what mods would you suggest to do in addition? For now I’m thinking about modifying exhaust tips and I wish to make more aggressive sound from it if it’s doable on my base model. I appreciate any feedback!

Yes, it will fit, but you also might need other parts underneath the bumper. Best to talk to somebody in the parts department.

Quick update. I was able to identify and order bunch of compatible parts for m-trim between 240i and 230i. Many parts are special orders came from Germany after a long time of waiting. Repairs and painting is done finally.

The final issue left with exhaust tips. M240 has oval pipe. 230i has round pipe 2.5 inch diameter (63 mm). So dual exhaust tip from M240i is not compatible with 230i (already tried). Was not able to find a solution yet. All the universal 2.5 inlet dual exhaust tips are very long and stick out too much.

Originally from the factory 230i comes with round pipes (for both regular and m-sport trims). That's why there's no really a seller who offers dual tips for 230i... I'll post this question on the forum and will see if somebody has any ideas
