Just installed JGmods front, JGmods rear, OEM IS diffuser, and OEM Mtech sides. I installed the JGmods lower grill but with OEM fog light holder with oil cooler cut out (part is 5 bucks from tischer). See pics below. Fit is great. Everything lines up on my car. Small black item in lower center grill is front camera.
Buy this bumper with confidence that it will fit great. Add the OEM fog light holder or just cut the one from JGmods. |

Can someone tell me the secret to get it perfectly lined up so I can put in all the screws? I've tried going left to right, right to left, and top to bottom.

I had to remove the oil cooler shroud rubber gasket that sealed to the front of the regular bumper. It just comes right off the shroud. The shroud/ducting stays in place and is NOT removed. I only removed the small rubber piece. Its a piece of rubber and was about 4 inches wide and 3/4in thick. Once that was popped off it just went right on. Try and figure out what/where its not fitting and address that area. I would look at the oil cooler shroud area and figure out if there is something going on there. Thats the only place where I could imagine there could be a problem. |

I removed the passenger side fender liner to better see what was holding me up. You might could try just moving the oil cooler ducting around by like 1/4 inch to get your clearance or by loosening the bolts on the oil cooler and moving it around since the ducting is attached to the cooler. Last but not least you could test fit it by removing the passenger side fog light and brackets and see if it then fits. If it does then you know for sure its related to that and you can plan your course of action. But overall once I removed that rubber seal the bumper fit 99.9%. Next time I have my bumper off (new grills, headlight restoration front camera wire rerouting and secondary oil cooler addition), I am going to try moving around the factory oil cooler by loosening the bolts. Then try and see if I can get that rubber seal back on. I have a feeling I probably can. It was that close on my car. |

I loosen the three oil cooler bolts (didn't have too), but since it's just plastic it'll flex. Something just told me to try it before I finish removing the oil cooler. My stock tow hook doesn't fit good so I might take it off and throw on a tow hook.

Yep, I have an e92. Fitment was spot on. I have installed both M3 and M Sport bumpers. Both are great and fit good. Wasn't able to install the ducts M3 bumper with the ducts, but the oil cooler and brakes still get air. It's all in which bumper you like most.

I plan to get a lip on one of these for sure it all depends which lips look better :P I just want one thats the farthest from stock. People say the Mtech looks the best on E92 and M3 rep is better on E90's

This is a bit of a long shot, but I believe I have the same bumper on my car, which was installed by the previous owner. It looks great, but I've somehow lost my front tow hook cover. I ordered an OE one thinking the fitment would be close, but OE is much smaller. Any ideas where I can get a new front tow hook cover?

Thanks for the reply. I've reached out to JG Mods twice, however I've not heard from them. Does anyone have a phone number from an order they had placed, or an email address at least?
