F32 Front lip confusion

F32Moe · 01-02-2019, 01:50 PM

Hey guys, I'm looking for a front lip for my f32 and I can only find the carbon fiber one. I was hoping to go OEM as the diffuser is also OEM but for the non carbon I can only find one for the f30, can anyone confirm if the f30 would fit the f32? If it doesn't which I wouldn't be surprised can anyone help me find a front lip that would. I tried ECS tuning and they make one but it says for non m-sport cars but it looks the exact same as the carbon one. Any help is appreciated!

F30 does not match F32 for front lip, different front bumper covers

Search "f32 msport front lip" on google and a bunch of ebay and other site options come up. Take a look there.

I looked but I couldn't find the one similar to to the f30 ( full middle part with the side parts as well) as well I don't want to cheap out on it with a cheap replica.

I'm confused on what you're looking for. You said you want OEM but you're looking at one that ECS Tuning makes? That wouldn't be OEM then. Honestly you might as well get a replica, it's not like the OEM one is substantially better. It would definitely fit 100% though whereas replica tend to not be 100% fit. OEM is usually a lot more expensive though.

I have both the M performance style aftermarket diffuser and front lip from eBay. Extremely happy with the fitment of both. F30 will not fit the F32 and BMW only makes the F32 front lip in carbon fiber. I wouldn’t hesitate to get an aftermarket front lip from eBay.

I'm sorry to say this... do you wear glasses then put it on.. the F32 and F30 bumper, m-sport or not look really different.

Youtube search for kies motorsport, he have installation covered.

Ebay is your best place to get it cheap.

I think the issue is his perspective of OEM on the F32 is that it looks like the OEM F30.

The F32 has an open center section with sections that cover the outer sides of the bumper cover.

If you want the style that covers all the way around I want to say your chances are low as I have never seen any except on the M4 front bumper which differs from the F32

the 4-series CF OEM front lip does not come in a polyurethane version(PU). PU replica's may be found in the aftermarket, occasionally offered in colormatch.

personally, i find the OEM front lip a bit boring. there are many other styles. imo, the best looking front lip available for the 4-series is by vorsteiner. a few peeps here have it.

Thanks for all the help, I was looking for one that's polyurethane and had found a couple last week from ikonmotorsports but they ran out and said they wont be getting them back for a few months. I found one that is basically the exact same on aliexpress but not sure about it. I thought about the vorsteiner one but I live in Canada and with the winters the front lip is going to get pretty beat up which is why I didn't want anything carbon.

I've had no issues with carbon fiber in the winters, or plowing snow.

Only thing that wrecks them is rubbing those concrete stop blocks in parking lots. I did the carbon fiber from ikon motorsports. Fit decent on my F30, I sprayed in low expanding spray foam to full it from the back (it was just thin and hollow).

For the record if you buy things with BMW stamped on it, it's instantly 2x more money for those three letters.

Will the F32 version fit an ‘18 F33 with msport appearance package?
