So you're saying that you cannot get the MSPort brackets with holes already in them, that the shop would have to drill em'/cut em'... and all thats needed on top of that are brackets to hold the sensors in? what the heck does the sensor sit clip to if theres no mounting spot on the back of the bumper?

I read your post 5 times and still am confused. Please rephrase in a way that a normal person could understand, and we can help you out.

Not sure if you're referring to the OP or me.

Bascally what i'm asking is, was the MSport e90's ever offered with front PDC from the factory?

If not, what are the options for retrofitting them? I'm assuming a body shop can drill holes for the sensors. Thats easy.. .the question is how do you mount them? I'm aware you'll have to buy the brackets. But what do the brackets attach to if there are no mounting points on the bumper itself for the brackets to attach to?

Has anyone successfully done this yet? Mount PDC sensors to an MSport bumper?

Sorry, I meant OP, not you.

I have done this. I went from factory E90 w/front PDC to Msport front. US spec Msport E90's were not offered with PDC from the factory. The shop I had it done at had to modify the front crash bars so the Msport bumper cleared. I luckily retained front PDC in the swap.

Eugenus can you comment on what other parts you had to buy for the conversion? I know there are fender liners, adapters, ducts, and a few other small things needed... but I'd love to get your list and compare it to what I've seen elsewhere on the forum?
