I have found the thread on the non m sport install but i tried today to do it on my M sport bumper and it was a lot harder than i thought. Is there a post on how to do it or any tricks. It was really hard to get a flat head in the space. Any help would be awesome

I've heard that if you take it to your local dealer, They'll do it for you.

I did it for my m-sport. I just used my hands as I couldn't fit a pry tool in and I have surround cameras to work around.
I just pulled from the top corner closest to the headlights. While pulling down from the inside I used my other hand to push in from the outside as well.
It was a pain to get it started and my fingertips were sore but once you get it going it just comes right off! Good luck!

[robgutie328i]

Thanks ace I'll try that.

Really easy use a heat gun.

Use a hair dryer for about 4 minutes. (or heat gun but those scare me because of the possibility of melting something)

I didn't even need a pry tool after heating the area. Just used my fingers.

I just used all hands. I think I left a finger nail or two in there some where...

Same here. This method worked just fine for me.

I like the hair dryer idea. So 4 mins then

Where you guys bought the parts?
I found(I think) on www.bimmian.com but they are telling me it is not for F30 M-Sport.

Are they right?
I just sent them an e-mail back because 1 of their pic looks like the reflector for M-Sport.

Can anyone tell me the part number so that I can go back to Bimmian?

[sfr002]

Got mine from IND.

[robgutie328i]

IND parts has them

[BMWOOF]

Thanks guys.
Anyone happen to know if they have clear refelctors?(I know IND does not)
My car is Alpine White so my first choice is clear reflector than painted.....

[reedo302]

Go painted. You don't need reflectors on your car.
I also went through IND, and they are great to work with.

[m2michael23]

if this is what you were looking for.

Heat gun works great. I almost had no pulls and tear in the adhesive.

Here is a picture for those of you with camera's. There is a little less hand space in there and I protected my cameras from the heat gun just to be safe.

[ryanSTL]

now you see it....



now you don't!!!



Thanks Nate and the folks @ IND. I emailed them a few days ago wanting some Carbon Black painted reflectors for my new 435 Gran Coupe M Sport. They replied no problem, I placed the order, they arrived today and match perfectly. You guys rock.

This thread was the most helpful. The video helps and a heatgun / hairdryer is a MUST.

I also tinted the GC (35% all around), have an Invisicord ready to wire to my Passport MAX, and have wheel spacers on the way from ECS.

Next purchase will be solving my wheel gap problem. will post better pics soon

for those that dont have a heat gun or hairdryer nearby, googone and leave it on for a few minutes makes it clean and easy
