BMW 4-series front M-sport bumper conversion - F32/ F33 

I can check the BMW official repair instructions. I am quite sure it is just a sensor you unclip and the fit onto the new bumper.

Also, appreciate if you know a dealer in south west Florida.

Thank you for the kind words. The mod does change the whole front and makes it a lot more sporty. I had a paintshop handle the paint. They can colormatch with the current color of your BMW and get a very close match. You might be able to get et pre painted from some venders. But it will always be risky, since your color may have faded over the years depending on the age. My old bumper i have for sale online and should be able to get it sold.

I did install the M-sport sideskirts. But never got around to install the M-Performance sticker or extensions. But they do transform the car.

Yes you need to use the new brake ducts. I got mine with the aftermarket bumper as a whole kit. They are in a different location, than the old bumper. So you will need to use them. They are easy to change and come with most aftermarket kits. If you go with genuine BMW you will have to order them on the side. Thanks for the kind word :-)

@@BMWORKZ Thanks man!🙂

You can fit an m-sport bumper to The 3-Series yes. But fitting this bumper from the 4-Series will require changing fenders, headlights, bonnet also. Quite a big task to do.

Yes, I did that install on my BMW also. I did not make a video of it, but you can see some details in one of my former videos. Had stock bumper and now I have M-Sport bumper with M-performance diffuser and 440i look exhaust.

So there’s no fitment issues?

@@boosted440i9 No the rear was plug and play. Got a aftermarket kit with all the small stuff needed for fitment. It was easier to change than the front bumper.

How long did it took you to do the M conversion in the back?

Have fitted the M-sport sideskirts now. Only missing the Performance extentions below the sideskirts. They look a lot better. Might already have them fitted in this video. We do have speed humps in Denmark and with the lowering I got, it has not been a problem so far.

I got a whole bumper kit with all the small plastic bits and grills included. Most aftermarket kits comes like that.

Thanks. The lip is made by Maxton Design - They offer two versions. One single part like the one i have fitted or a dual splitter with an extra lower lip. Single lip: maxtondesign.eu/product-eng-2920-FRONT-SPLITTER-v-2-BMW-4-F32-M-PACK-GTS-look.html Dual lip: maxtondesign.eu/product-eng-759-HYBRID-FRONT-SPLITTER-BMW-4-F32-M-PACK-GTS-look.html

You are correct. I fitted the center two PDC's, upside down. The brackets need to be turned 180 degrees. My car did not have PDC, so it was only for filling the holes.

The ones in the video are M-sport. Changed them from normal. They are a bit more curve. The normal are almost just plain. Don’t think it will look strange if you keep the normal ones.

If installed correctly, then it is as good as before. Since you only change the plastic bumper and not the crash bars behind it.

Hello Mick, It is a very nice change to the car, makes it look a lot more sporty. Since I got a aftermarket bumper, everything needed was in the kit. If you decide to go with a genuine BMW bumper you will need to purchase all parts on the side. Since a genuine BMW bumper does not come with anything.

@@BMWORKZ would you be able to tell me what was in the kit

In the kit i got the bumper, Fog light grills L+R with trim covers, Center grill, Cover tow hook, Covers for spray nozzle, Mount for fog light L+R, Brake ducts L+R, Adapter piece for underhood shield.

@@BMWORKZ thank you for the info I'm getting each piece separately as it's working out cheaper

@@BMWORKZ did you also the the radiator air duct or can you keep the original

Purchased a full kit with all the bumpers. Not only the front. So don’t have a link for the front only. But you should be able to get it anywhere. Best to purchase local, since shipping is crazy expensive

Regular service and maintenance is just as any other car. They are pretty easy to keep going. Some engines got a few problems like any other brands. But if you read a bit about it, you will be able to say away from most issues and keep it running for many years. I have driven mine 60.000 KM, only changed oil and filters twice. No issues or problems with it in those miles.

Yes

1. Yes the bumper will still fit. I just needed to adjust the hight if the bumper in the front. Took 5 minutes to do. 2. There is quite a few different designs. But most bumpers will have the openings on either side. 3. I work with BMW spare parts and tuning, so picked it up at work :)

BMWORKZ Thanks a lot! Means a lot Also anywhere you recommend getting a nice front lip from? And Not so expensive?

There is a ton of nice lips. If you want easy fitment. You should pick a abs plast version. They can bend more than carbon and usually are way cheaper. There is more than 10 different lips, so all a question about what you like the most.

I got this kit from Schmiedmann - the brand of the bumper is Goodgo. Very common aftermarket bumper brand worldwide.

Thank you for the kind word. Where are you from? Then i can check if a dealer near you got it. Shipping is very expensive for such a kit and i got it local to me in Denmark.

BMWORKZ I live in California, United States

@@richythind1747 Then you have a few options. The cheapest will likely be Ebay or Amazon. If you got a F32, you just look for F32 bumper kit. Most dealers will not call it M-sport due to legal stuff. But most aftermarket bumpers come from the same place. The brand I got is called GoodGo and made in Taiwan. If you need further help there are some big dealers in US, ECSTuning(Turnermotorsport). More local I know of European Auto Source in Anaheim 92807.

Hej Pawel, jeg er fint tilfreds med kvaliteten. Næsten alle uoriginale kofangere i EU er lavet af det samme firma Goodgo i Taiwan. Kvalitet er god, men ikke perfekt. Pasformen er fin, men der få ting her og der som ikke er perfekte som låg til lygtevask ikke altid lukker perfekt til og måske nogle små gab mellem dele. Men på 1 meters afstand er det usynligt. Jeg vil anbefale at få grundet kofangeren på ny af maler. Da den grunder de bruger i Taiwan ikke er den bedste altid og måske ikke arbejder godt med den maling vi bruger her. Intet slår original BMW kvalitet, men til 1/3 del af prisen er det ikke et dårligt alternativ.

@@BMWORKZ Hejsa. Tusind tak for dit svar. Jeg vil tage kontakt til Schmiedmann syntes de har nogen rigtig gode priser på de produkter de sælger. Jeg har et pr spørgsmål mere er der en mulighed for jeg kan kontakte dig via mail,messenger eller andet? venlig hilsen Pawel

Thanks :D Still plenty of work to do on the car. Never ending hobby

Hej Jens, Jeg er fra Trekantsområdet. Det er ikke noget jeg kan klare. Dette er har været et privat projekt. Men det er noget de fleste værksteder kan klare, medmindre du selv har mod på det :) Kofangeren er denne: www.schmiedmann.dk/da/bmw-f32/1961467-ny?produkt=FRF323336MOTPDC

I did not have this issue. All my screws went in perfectly if I remember correctly. Could be the M4 bumper is made a bit different than the m-sport.

Mange tak :) Det meste er lige til. Jeg har lavet det hele selv og alt er bolte, møtrikker og skruer. Så hvis man har mod på det, så kan man lave det hele med simpelt værktøj. Derudover findes der mange gode guides her på RU-vid, inden man springer ud i det :) Held og lykke med projektet.

Most dealers can ship international. Just find one close to you and get a price.

The Bumper kit i got from Schmiedmann.com - The lip is made by Maxton Design. The bumper kit is made by Goodgo in Taiwan and can be sources many places :)

Hello, The front bumper is the same on all the models from 418d to 440iX. Just keep in mind to get the one with the correct options. Like if your 420d got parking sensors or headlight cleaning etc. You can choose a 430 gran coupe. Then all should fit your model.

My bumper came with some mounts for the headlight washers. The mounts got glued on the bumper. Then the headlight washers just slide in and the covers are clicked onto the nozzle.

BMWORKZ thanks for the reply!

20” Breyton

Den er købt hos Schmiedmann. Det er en uoriginal kofanger. Men den kan også fås originalt fra BMW, bare noget dyrere.

@@BMWORKZ fedt tak. Går samme vej med min F36…. Tænker at springe “prøvning” over inden maler, kunne også forstå på dig at den har en rigtig go pasform 😉

You should be able to find the kit many places. Depends on where in the world you are. Very expensive to ship, so try to find it local

Hello Christian, The bumper I have installed here is a replica M-sport bumper. If you seek an M4 bumper it will be a bit different in design. If you got an F3X 4-series, you will be able to install M-sport genuine or aftermarket, or a aftermarket M4 look bumper. The genuine M4 bumper needs new fenders, hood etc to fit. The best source of parts would be Ebay or Amazon for you. I know of SOLO MOTORSPORTS in GA. Maybe they are able to help you out, if you need it installed/sourced by a shop.

Try to find it local, kinda expensive to ship. Most places got replica m-sport kits.

You should be able to find one easy. Since shipping is often expensive. You should look at a dealer near you. There are many big BMW aftermarket Dealers in the US. Turner Motorsport, ECS Tuning, EAS Tuning, Kies Motorsport, FCP EURO, Modbargins, IND-Distribution etc. They might not call it M-Sport due to trademarks. But maybe Sport bumper, M-Style, Motorsport etc.

The Crossbar is called a "Carrier, bumper, front bottom" by BMW. As I understand it is just a carrier for the lower part of the bumper. The impact bar sits higher up and is still there. The crossbar is just to add extra rigity to the lower part of the bumper.

@@BMWORKZ Thanks for the response. I was just worried about removing something important from the car just in case of impact. Once again thanks fornthe response. Quality content 👌🔥

Yes it is a very easy job. Take your time and do it with a mate. Then it is pretty straight forward. All tools needed is regular tools, most will have. It just regular bolts, screws. No force needed.

BMWORKZ how much was that bumper ? I have that exact same car

I purchased a full kit with Front, rockerpanels, rear bumper etc. But you should be able to find just the front bumper kit for around 250-300 USD on Ebay, Amazon. The brand I got is called GoodGo and is one of the biggest bumper suppliers from Taiwan.

Hello Johan, For the price i think it is great. The finish has hold up great to the weather. I do not find it too low. My car is also only lowered 25/20MM. If lowered more you may have problems hitting speedbumps. But with my current height, there is no problem.

Hello Farid, I am not fully sure what i did here. I think they may have been included with the new bumper i got. Don't recall moving them from the old bumper to the new one. But they are the same brackets from normal to M-sport bumper, so you should be able to use your old ones without any problems. The part numbers you have listed are for F30/31 only, so if you have a 4-series they will be different.

@@BMWORKZ Thanks a lot, mate! If you do not remember taking them out from the old bumper, then there are 3 options. 1st - new bumper had that brackets. 2nd - you put new bumper on w/o that brackets. 3rd - that brackets are located on fenders. I think I shall disassemble the bumper to find the truth 🙂 Again, thanks for the reply. Have a good time!

I would suggest to fit it with the lower bar. Just more work to do, as I show in the video. The lower bare is a reinforcement to the lower part of the bumper. The large crash bar is a lot bigger and higher up.

Yea the fog lights are the same on the m-sport.

If you buy the bumper aftermarket you will most of the time get all parts you need for fitting. Also the ducts etc.

BMWORKZ thank you. I was just wondering because I bought one recently on amazon and it says direct OE replacement. So I don’t know if I still have to change the ducts or not

Well if you want an aftermarket bumper, most will be the same brand from Taiwan. Depending on where you are from, there is a few dealers to choose from

The bumper came primed and had it color matched to the rest of my car at a local paintshop. That is the most common way to go about it. Since shipping painted parts is risky and may not match well.

I got the whole kit Front, Rear and rocker panels. But if you only seek the front, then this is it: www.schmiedmann.com/en/product/1961467-new?product=FRF323336MOTPDC

This is the front splitter: www.schmiedmann.com/en/product/1991223-new?product=FRLF3XV2-MD

I would say it sits about the same without the lip. The bumper does not go lower than the stock did. My car is lowered 25/20MM and with the lip I have not scraped once yet.

Thanks mate :-)

Hello Kejon, These bumpers are mostly by the same manufacturer. I would suggest getting it local, since shipping for bumpers is quite high. You should be able to find these bumpers on both Ebay and the bigger Bimmer shops worldwide. Often they will not be called M-sport bumpers unless they are genuine BMW. Where are you from? Then i might be able to help you with a few known dealers.

Dude I'm in orlando

@@BMWORKZ I am from Jamaica. I got the after market m sport bumper but I don’t know which fender inner liner will fit. I have been searching for this information for months and nobody can tell me.

@@kejonftf Dear Kejon, I did not install any new fenderliner for the M-sport bumper? Are you installing it on a BMW F32 also? Some models like F10 needs new fender liner parts.

@@BMWORKZ yes a 428ixdrive F32.
