F80 rear bumper on F30?

Rydugo1 · 03-10-2019, 04:38 PM

My question is, will it fit flush? I have an 'M3 F80 STYLE bodykit' on my F30, but think it looks a bit weird & a bit too square at the back. So wondering if it's possible to put an official M3 rear bumper on it. Thanks

I don't think you can. I believe the M3 has a wider rear than the F30 (narrow front to kind of a widebody rear).

Yeah & this is exactly what I thought. Because I'm pretty sure the rear bumper has part of the wheel arch flare in it right? It's just someone said to me that I could, so I second guessed it, & now I'm here. Haha. I think maybe I'll have a look for a better looking, more official looking rear bumper.

This is one reason why I went with the M sport bumper instead. Also I didn't want to do custom exhaust initially. Then I did custom exhaust anyways lol..

Lol. & that style of dual exit is why I didn't go for M Sport. I wanted more central, more M3 style exhaust setup & I couldn't find any fitting diffusers for m sport!

Getting that look would be a lot more work. You'd need different exhaust as well to get it to dump centralized. The 335 has a common muffler with dual tips coming from it. You'd need a true dual exhaust, and one that works on the 335 that has a M3 dump point.

The exhaust has been modified all the way through from turbo back. & the rear section has been modded to accommodate for the more central exhaust. As you can see in my pics this is very similar to the M3 style exit. If there's any difference it will be within a couple of centimetres which isn't a tough modification. Throw £200 at it & job's done. Lol

The difference with the m sport twin dual exit diffuser is the second exhaust on both sides of the car are added on the OUTSIDE, whereas my exhaust fitted in the diffuser but needed exhausts added on the inside. If that makes any sense
