There is a gap and I asked BMW about it and they said that its normal and that everything line up the way it should ...
It drives me crazy and for some reason in pictures it looks more noticeable then in person...

Looks good. You should attend one of our local meets. I believe we'll have one coming up soon once the weather turns.

All the best

Actually, there's a little way to make the gap a little less noticeable.

You can loosen the front bolts by that, there are 5 bolts. Once you loosen then, you can add small spacers under the bolts, where the bumper bolts onto the car. That'll definitely help.

Let us know if u need help, its fairly simple.


I believe there's a thread that people posted about the gap for the mtech and they used the same method i was talking about.

Your car looks great! The splitters look really good with the ACS lip. I really like your wheels. I was just looking at the at tirerack.com. I was thinking of going with a staggered set-up though. How do you like the wheels?

Nice work. Always nice to have a lady's touch around here. Mel has been outnumbered
