So I have an 07 550i with sport package but not M sport package. I found used front and rear factory bumpers thinking it would be a direct bolt on which it was not. A few issues came up that I could use help with.
The rear bumper mounts a little different underneath. On the passenger side there was a splash panel that I head to remove or the bumper wouldn't mount. It sits under the passenger side under the trunk behind the rear wheel. Does anyone know what the M sport splash panel should look like and do you have a part #?
The other issue I ran into is that the front bumper also didn't just fall into place. It seems the inner fender liners are different for the M-sport. Does anyone have any info on those as well? I also had to modify the bumper foam support since it was a little too large.
Lastly I thought my sport windshield washer fluid covers and mechanism would transfer over but apparently it's a different size door and mechanism. Does anyone know a good place to get that or have the part #'s for it for BMW??
Thanks

Looks like you started this conversion without doing any research. I'd suggest you going to realoem.com to find the answers you need.

Thanks for the tip. I looked into the parts quite a bit but didn't think there were different parts associated with the m sport besides the bumpers and side skirts. I'll check out the site you included. Thanks.
