M3 style front bumper Question

D041987 · 03-30-2017, 06:15 PM

I do apologize if this has been talked before and I have come across some posts that say one thing or another but never confirmed with pics or gave straight answers. So I am debating about going to M3 bumper or the M-Sport but want to confirm and if possible have pics posted here of someone that might have done it.

Does this bumper have the proper shrouds and ducts for the brakes and intercooler setup as the M sport bumper has? Reason I ask is that the M3 has a much wider Intercooler area and most pics show that there is no brake ducting or intercooler shroud present and leave the space open.

Since there are a lot of people who have fitted a M3 style bumper I guess there must be airducts and shroud. I can't imagine that all of those people are driving with 'messed up' airflow for the brakes and radiator and stuff...
Maybe the parts of the m-sport fit behind the m3 style?
