Default Bmw 550i after market m bumper installation

Hi guys i just bought an after market 550i M front bumper and im having hard time installing it because the base of the frame isnt allowing my parking sensors to go in. In order for it to work i heard that i will need to remove the foam. Is this true ? Have some of you experienced this before ? Pls help lol

Also i need left + right headlight washer covers. Where can i get it ? Are all sizes the same ? Thanks

you need to trim the foam. i used an Xacto knife and did it with the foam absorber still in place on the car.

+1, Trim the crash pad in away to remove what is interfering. Non PDC is much easier since it's just a simple trim from the bottom, but PDC is a little more trimming. Or you could order the correct one for the M sport through your dealer. Trimming is obviously cheaper. I don't recommend removing it totally though, it's there for a reason...

I got headlight washer covers from the dealer and they fit perfect on my aftermarket bumper.
