Mine fit up extremely well for aftermarket.

Also, if you have an oil cooler, the stock passenger side fog light housing has a blanking plate that will block off airflow. If you have an oil cooler, you will need the one for the m-sport with oil cooler (link below), or you can just cut it out with a dremel. Like I said, the stock ducts don't line up perfect, but can probably live with it. If not, then buy the m-sport stuff and you will be golden.

I'm thinking of doing a fog delete too. Do you have any pictures of your car?
How did the 335is brake ducts work out?

Does anyone know if there is a driver side duct for the PPK Aux radiator that is NOT the 335is duct? Preferably one which preserves the brake duct?

Was the PPK V2 ever made for PreLCI E92? If so, it would make sense that there is a duct.

If not, I'd like to know if there is a non 335is part number for the aux radiator duct, made for the M Sport LCI.

FYI -

I did this conversion (with the help of this thread, thanks!) but there was one thing I wanted to mention. I bought the undertray that the OP listed - but it does NOT work with an XI model.

The XI models - they have a totally different tray which has a large section cut out for the metal skid plate. If you want to use the fender liners that the OP listed - this part would work fantastic - 51758046334 (dont be discouraged by the fact this says NON M-SPORT - it's absolutely what you need for this setup).

HOWEVER - I was able to use the front (vertical) extension piece off of the tray that OP listed, which bolted up without modification (which possibly can be purchased separately) - and make 2 cuts, and drill 2 holes on the front edges to make the factory non m-sport undertray exactly like the CORRECT part I listed above.

I used the tray for the 335i that I had as a template to trace the cuts, and holes I needed - but you could use my picture and freehand cut it also - and then drill the holes when you marry it to the car.




BTW - I acquired the bumper from m*dbarg*ins - which had by far the best price currently. The fitment and quality is great - and here is a finished photo. It didn't have the correct fog light bracket for the oil cooler - but someone earlier in the thread noted that part number, which is only like $13. Personally I just cut a hole in the provided bracket for air to flow through.
