m1xst5r · 06-02-2014, 10:09 AM

If there is a link can someone please post. If not, I would just like to know what exactly needs to be trimmed and what not so the m3 rep bumper fits nicely on my 2008 335xi

Nothing. It's PnP.

i didnt have to trim anything on my e90, but on my cousins e92 we did. the fogs on the bumper hit into some air ducts (i think they were the brake ducts, i dont remember), so you have to trim those a bit. once you line it up to install you will see what makes contact.

Thanks for the info.

oh its true you have the sedan, so yeah there's nothing to trim. But you will need the wiring harness if you got the version of the bumper that comes with fog lights (you can also splice the wires together but for 10$ the harness is the better option).
