Alright who caught the pun in my title?


I'm looking for an e90 sedan M3 style conversion front bumper with no headlight washers and no fog lights.

I'm also looking for E90 sedan Mtech Side Skirts.


I'm not so concerned with deleting the headlight waster as I already pulled the fuse so it never activates. I'm worried about deleting the fog lights and the system throwing a warning the whole time. Has anyone done this mod?


How does the M3 conversion bumper connect to the splash panel underneath the car? And if I get one without fog lights how do I duct to the brakes and oil cooler on my 335i ?

Any help is appreciated !

I believe you want an M3 "replica" bumper which typically have the mounting holes and fitment for the non M3 body panels.

There should be discussion about fog light delete brake ducting, if you search. It appears that you may be able to purchase the m3 parts but some modifications may be needed to oil cooler lines or something on 335i.

Regarding the fog light delete errors, this is something that can be coded out. You'll simply tell the car to stop checking for burnt out bulbs, there should be a cold and hot check in the FRM. You will get a dash warning if you unplug the fog lights (like when you forget to plug them back in after replacing your bumper like I did)

All of this has been covered in one way or another here, but you might need to put together a few threads for the full solution

got a m3 rep off ebay, i fitted it myself. and now wondering if i have to buy new wheel well liners, under plastics and brake ducts. reason being none of it lined up, had to force all the underside plastics and not screw spots down. i had to pull the brake ducts after ordering a new one to replace a broken one just to cut them and find they still didnt fit after cutting, so no returning that.

if i had to guess this m3 rep bumper works better with msport parts or M3 parts on the front

still waiting to put on the front cf HK style lip i got, but its going to be a pita too as you cant put it on the bumper and then just install bumper with it on.

mantis, can you elaborate a little on the fitment to the wheel well liners and underbody splash shield? I have a 2011 m sport and am hoping my parts will better align. The splash shield is different than non msport as the front has an arrow shape to it that fits under bumper cover. I cracked the passenger side wheel well liner after a crunch into a parking block thing. The bumper didn't fair too well either. I put a new wheel well liner in.

I'm looking to switch from m-sport to M3 replica. I also plan to go without fog lights. I've read a DIY where you buy real M3 ducts and trim to fit. Some gluing is involved. I'll fish up a link about that duct DIY for you.

Here is that M3 duct DIY that i mentioned in previous post.

cuda, with the Msport pieces you should have better luck with fit than i did on the non M
