M-Sport vs M3 Replica

ramez75 · 09-30-2012, 05:58 PM

OK I cant make up my mind so would like to see what member of the forums recommend. I want to get the side skirts and eventually the rear followed by the front bumper.

So my question is M-Sport or M3 Replica. Also are they direct fitment or do I need to do certain modification. I want something to be direct fitment that is take the old and put the new since I will do the install myself.

I am right now looking at M3 Replca and M-Sport side skirts and cant make up my mind

By the way I have 2009 335i xDrive Coupe.

Thanks

RB

too many m3 reps out there
be unique, get an m-sport oem
it is only about $550 new

I personally dislike the mtech/msport parts. I'm an m3 rep guy all day long. The m3 rep parts are more aggresive.

Msport front OEM for 550? Thought they were closer to 1000 with all the ducting and shields needed.

I was told that the M3 Replica requires slicing the fog lights and trimming. Also will I have issues with the front brake duct whether I get an M3 Replica or M-Sport.

My concern I want direct fitment

The m3 replica is a direct fit and comes with fog lights. If u Want to put air ducts then u will need to start slicing.

I just put the M3 on this past weekend. Perfect fit. I just removed the air ducts to make it simple.

I have the M3 one too... Easy duct removal and you're all set.

That's true for E90's, not E92's. Most E92's here have Mtech/Msport.

OP, IMO the M3 only looks good if you're pretty low. If you're on stock suspension I'd go Mtech. If low, M3.
