Ok. Install of my M rear bumper - many thanks to nicke60gre for the briefing and to our fellow member Justin who lives close by to help me with the install and some cutting !
You will need to make a printout of the BMW M conversion pdf as well and refer to SECTION 7 for important info regarding some very simple cutting involved to the plastic rear wheel arch.
If you don't have new pushpins and screws for your M rear bumper the kit will set you back about 25 euros.
Good luck !

Did you have to use new left and right hloders or can I use the same ones? Also, do you think I should just buy the plastic push pins or will I need other kind?
Thanks

Excellent contribution! Thanks you. I cannot see any difference between the new bumper that you installed and the factory. Can you help? I can't compare side by side so I can't tell. thank you.
