Front bumper performance

[RAF BOY]

Hi, i try to install a front bumper performance on my bmw e82 and i have a problem for the screws under the bumper. ( look the pic).





If anyone who have the performance bumper have a picture of the assembly.

Thank you

Sorry for my bad english

I believe there is another piece that goes onto there, its the lenght of the bumper, but about 3 inches wide. It is probably on your stock bumper!

I have an another piece with the kit (piece G)this piece is for the car who don't have the M package. I have the M package and the piece is unwearable.



Thanks

from when is your car? if it`s from mid 2012, the performance bumper is not fitting anymore. I had no problems with the install. I had the m bumper installed before and just used piece G!

My car was made in 2010, have you got a pics to the under of the assembly please ?

Thanks

here's a pic of the under side of my front bumper. little bit dirtier than yours!

How come performance bumpers dont fit from 2012 onwards?? did they change the design?

[AnooooOH]

they did something to get better crash test results.
it`s an active pedestrian protection system.

Thank you for the pics, but the 2 holes are normal?

[jksgoh]

hmm. not sure... i'll have another look tomorrow at the underside of my car.

Were you coming from an M sport or non M sport?

I have a feeling the bit you are missing comes standard M sport cars but not the non M sport.

I've attached the installation guide, hopefully this will help you out.

On my M sports car the underside of my car is identical.

The problem is what, if i place the G piece, i have the 2 hole like your picture.

I think that is anormal.
If i remove the G piece , the cover wheel housing front are not fixed (1st pictures)

Thank you for installation guide but the guide is not specific for the underside of the M package.

I hope you understand my bad enfglish

maybe AnooooOH could take a photo of the under side of his car and then we could see if the holes are meant to be there or not

[AnooooOH]

My underbody and the adapter piece were completely modified because I installed a carbon fibre lip which was originally built for the mtech bumper.

And atm my car is in the bodyshop because I`m going for another front!

[jksgoh]

what front are you going for now?

[AnooooOH]

msport + customized icarbon lip

Thread resurrection lol, does anyone know if piece G (51750432379) is required for an e82 with the m-sport bumper converting to the performance bumper? The install doc from BMW says it's not needed but I haven't found anyone that's gone without it successfully.

Edit: I discovered I do need the adapter piece. Found a picture of the bottom of the bumper on ECSTuning.
