Lci E90 M3 Rep Bumper Install Help

Xfloridiankicks · 11-14-2018, 04:45 PM

So I decided to get rid of my old bumper and get a m3 rep for my LCI e90 335i, when I tried installing it the top seems to connect correctly I just need help trying to understand how can these air ducts fit with all the stuff in there?

Brake air ducts either need to be cut back or removed completely. I removed mine when I installed my M3 rep. This way they are not hacked up should I or anyone else want to revert.

Okay I spoke to a guy who installs these and he told me the same thing, did you have any issues with the bottom tray reaching the bottom of the bumper? Also are those oem air ducts bolted on?

Yeah, you have to remove the factory ducts. Do you have the M3 rep ducts? I don't think you can use factory M3 ducts without heavy mods to them. I wa fortunate to buy a set made for the rep bumper that uses the factory holes in the wheel well.
