Default Air Brake Ducts

Hello.. Do i have these on a 2010 528xi?
And if so, is it something I need right away when I put Mtech bumper on in a few weeks?
I dont drive my car aggressive or anything like that. Can I hold off on the ducts for now? If i even have them?

Yes you have brake ducts. The ducts you currently have for your lci bumper will not fit properly to the Mtech bumper. You don't necessarily need the ducts since air will still make it into the opening. However it's just easier to replace them at the same time you swap out the bumper. Not to mention they are probably not that expensive.
