Ok so i really wanna get the m3 front bumper for my e90 but the more i look into it the more complicated it becomes. I have been talking to a couple people on the forum about what they did wit the conversion and i hear all kind if different things. So here are the parts I have been told I need:

51117900764, m3 center grill, 44.47
51747900823, left airduct for m3, 48.46
51747900824, right airduct for m3, 39.96
51758040109, mtech adapter (undertray), 19.14

Someone also told me i might need part number: 51758040111, the mtech engine shield. I am thinking that is only for the full m3 conversion which includes the e92 headlights and e92 hood for e90, not for m3 bumper made by ****** as a direct fit for e90 but correct me if i am wrong.

Also in talking to hedges he says the wheel wells do not extend far enough for his m3 bumper so he may be considering m3 wheel wells (dont know part number).

Anybody with any knowledge or experience with this mod PLEASE HELP!!!

I really wanna do this but wanna do it right. thanks all very much in advance.

update: i ordered the 2 ducts, mtech under tray and mesh grill yesterday. i am hoping to get in touch with longtran soon so we can put it together, he has done a couple things for my car already and has done a great job so i am excited. I also got the Vista DRL from Jlevi so I am excited about how it will all come together.
