M Sport or M4 Conversion?
I'm not feeling the sport line look on my f33. I just bought a 2015 428i coming from a 2012 c300 I feel like sport line is so dated looking (exterior) especially the side skirt and rear bumper kinda makes me feel like my old e90. I'm pretty determined to upgrading the appearance just not sure which route to go....In terms of price point both will cost similar (front, side, rear). I'm leaning slightly toward the M4 look I dunno..They both look great.

M Sport suits the lines of the car much better. Without the bulging fenders and wide track, the M4 conversion looks odd at certain angles.

What you're probably talking about is replacing the front and rear bumpers (and the skirts) with what is known as M4 Replica Bumper covers that are designed to match the normal F33 quarter panels. Remember, the M4 front fenders have the air slots. And the hood is different IIRC. So doing just the replica bumper/skirt stuff looks weird and incomplete. That's why the msport is "better".

They are not the same. I guess the overall design language is similar, but it's shaped differently, it's got a different upper canard or whatever you call it, the cutouts are different. They are completely different part numbers and the M4 is wider. The rears are totally different as well.

Kits?
Hey man, love what you've done. Thinking of doing something very similar with my 435. Can you share which brand did you go with for the front bumper conversion?
