Question regarding front lip

Samson427 · 02-10-2019, 01:03 PM

Hey everyone, I recently let my girlfriend borrow my car and unfortunately she took a bump pretty hot and onliterated my front lip. I have a 2014 228i with sport line. I was wondering if it was possible to fit an M front lip on the car or if this wouldn’t fit. Also if anyone has experience installing a new front lip I’d love to hear any advice or tips. Thanks!

Sportline and M-Sport have two totally different bumpers so I doubt it would work interchangeably,

Might want to just take the opportunity to get a M sport bumper

how about some pics OP?

Currently in class but will get pics later. I looked at switching to the M sport bumper because it is a massive aesthetic upgrade but I don't want to bite the bullet on $650+ (I'm a college student) after shipping and before painting the new bumper. I've ordered the replacement parts and am hoping to install them this weekend with some friends. I will upgrade this thread periodically with progress and some pictures.

Right.....it was your gf who did it. Haha just kidding bro, that sucks. Hope you can get it fixed on the cheap.

It's a good thing she's pretty, also these are not the best pictures but hopefully show the damage some what. We did our best to remove the broken splitter because it just looked terrible. Am looking for pictures of it before removal now. I've ordered the oem parts I think I need for this already from BMWPartSupply.com.
