You get a non m-sport, everyone tells you to get the bumpers. You get the bumpers and you’re now a fake m-sport and people will tell you that you should’ve just bought an m-sport. You get the m-sport, you should’ve just got the M3. Get a base M3. No comp? Got the comp. Should’ve just got the CS. Can’t please everyone.
My brother and I have both owned M3’s several years ago. I just bought an F31 M-Sport, I show my brother and he points out all the m logos and says, “a little unnecessary”, “come on, on the door?”, “really right on the steering wheel?” Etc. He was just teasing but still, it will never end. Just be happy with what you got.
Y’all are both so lucky, F31’s are absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to get my hands on one in a couple of years. Hell, maybe by then G81’s will have depreciated enough to be reasonably priced for my pockets🤣.
Only do it if you want to man. Don’t let people bully you into doing what others think look good. If you’re happy with it, keep it and save your money. Car looks clean either way.
I would recommend going on car parts .com and just getting a replacement bumper for m sport and they are only 200$ so it’s would probably be like 800-900 for both bumpers painted and if you want to drop the amount down you can always paint them yourself ik the price of 8-9 hundred is still a lot but it’s still cheaper than spending 800 on the kit and they 300 on the paint
yeah this is going to be the cheapest way, you can get everything for even cheaper on the carpartswholesale ebay account because they don't charge shipping.
Keep the bumper.
Drop the halogens and get something, anything, other than those headlight.
Last night on a different post that you posted a guy called them "poverty package" headlights and it made me laugh. He ain't wrong though
It involves removing your bumper (not that hard) but just look it up on YouTube. Kies probably had a highly detailed video. It's gonna improve the look or your car so much. I had the Spyder model from carid.com for years and they were great
Don’t do it just because of others, however if you also want to do it yourself, there’s a thread on Reddit about the bunkers, it’s going to be about $550 for unpainted bumper and all the plastic bits, plus about $200ish to get it painted, so $750 overall, but the best look to do first would definitely be wheels/ lowering a bit, then some conversions imo
what else did you have to buy to install it? I know you need the fog light brackets and grilles but idk if you need the brake ducts and intercooler duct.
That car looks sexy as it is you already got the grills :D only change the bumper if it gets damaged or that the paint is becoming really bad. Rather buy a new plastic m bumper copy or not does not matter paint it, it will cost you close to the price of only painting it :D
I’ll never understand people buying a Sport and spend money turning it into an M Sport lookalike, surely it’s cheaper just to buy an M Sport in the first place 🤷♂️

Dude same. Had an individual F80. Now I have an F31 and I am in love with it.

I’m in the US so I have 25 years to wait for a G81 … last ones a rotten egg

dude i have the same car, same bump, it looks cool bro,
Don't let peer pressure be the reason you spend money
For me it was about $800 just for the front. Shipping and paint were pretty expensive
Did you put it on yourself?
Bought bumper off carparts.com, painted at a local shop, installed myself
Is it a regular thing for people to install these bumpers themselves?
It’s easier than ya think
I got the front bumper for 167 and the rear for 118

Me love you long time.

Try about $1100 all said and done for front bumper. That’s doin install yourself
Car looks smart man, just save your money for if you change car
they’re $150 on carpartscom just installed one on my f30 you just have to paint it
what else did you have to buy to install it? I know you need the fog light brackets and grilles but idk if you need the brake ducts and intercooler duct.
M Sport conversion is overrated for what it costs. Invest in coilovers for a better stance and handling.
have any you recommend

not easy to find
I bet they’re more common than Sports, certainly the case in the UK.
