Retrofitting e87 Msport front with brake ducts
Hey fellow e87/e81 brothers
If you changed your front to be Msport e87/e81, how difficult was it? How did your retrofit the Bake ducts. Let me know. I think I want to create the first e82 with e87 Msport front, it will look better than my e82 Non Msport

I've got a few friends with hatches that wished they had gone with a coupe bumper instead, due to the vast number of splitters/lips offered for the e87/81 m sport bumper. Just my o.o2, but do as you wish! Good luck |

I've thought about it too.
I did see in person a blue e87 with M sport last year on vacation and it did appeal to me over e82 msport front somehow, i dont know why it just did. Plan is to get a used one for cheap shipped to Canada and repaint it, and maybe do one Custom mod to it. The result will be an e82 coupe with a bumper that does not have a chin that the 135i front has (think 1m or BMW perf bumper)
