Can someone post a photo of their front bumper (full view) trying to figure out how the two vents/ slits are

One side of mine has a cover and the other one doesn’t.

Long story short: since there is a radiator on the right side of the car, BMW opens the air inlet to cool the radiator.

This is pretty off topic but I just got one of these (2023) and have a jb4 in it, has anyone done this? Relatively new here and just wondering if anyone has had any issues. I installed it yesterday and after some really hard driving i am getting a wrench light in my dash. This goes away when I restart the vehicle. I am running map2 on 93 octane and all stock otherwise, id really appreciate some insight, thanks in advance!

Start a thread with your question. You probably won’t get an answer here.

The other side of mine is unclipped and I can’t get it clipped back. That cover is a bitch.

You probably need to push the cover into place from the inside of the bumper. The easiest way may be taking off the red section and try to push the cover into place. Name: front_underbody_protection.PNG

You probably need to remove these screws in order to remove the red section (underbody panels)
