Hi,
I've just replaced my standard bumper by the M model.

The following lips was included with the kit and seem to be required;
Part 7

But I really don't understand how to mount it because it comes in conflict with the other part 2

Can somebody help me with a photo of an origin M mounting ?

Many Thanks.

See if your local dealer or any local Indy has an car you can look at...
 
In your photo, part A doesn't match part 2 in the expanded diagram...

if you look at where you've put the letter "A" on the photo, compare that to the same location in the diagram, and there should be a vertical bit?

Have you definitely got the correct diagram? Assuming that diagram is for the M Sport version, what is the diagram like for the model your car actually is? Could comparing the two help?

Part B was included in your kit, right? What about part A? Was that in the kit, or was it what you already had?

Looks to me like part B isn't required if your part A is like the one you've got? or does one fit inside the other?
 
Thanks for your kind reply. :wink:

The Part A is the original part which was installed on my car previously. I don't know if this Part is available for both non M and M Bumper but this one fits perfectly with my new M-Bumper installation. --> www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=LM71-EUR-02-2010-E89-BMW-Z4_35i&diagId=51_7256

The Part B was included with the Retrofit M-Bumper installation --> www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=LM71-EUR-02-2010-E89-BMW-Z4_35i&diagId=03_0779

In my opinion, I think if I want to install the Part B, I need to uninstall the Part A. The Part A offers a better protection compared with the small Part B. I do not understand the reason of this difference between Non-M and M Bumper. That's why I would like to compare with an original installation. :?

One last important detail; If I look at the diagram for a 35is model (equivalent with an M-Sport), both the Part A and B are illustrated.

Crazy :-? :dizzy:
