BMW X3M40D -> F97 front modification

mtothep · 07-30-2020, 04:57 AM

Hi Guys,

I recently bought a F97 (X3MC) Front on ebay for just 100€.
The front looks really good.

Can someone tell me, if it is simple to just change the fronts?
Of course, all the sensors have to disconnect/connect.
And the FOG-LED have to fall out the system.

Can someone help me out or has experience with that?
Does it fit in general?

Cheers guys

Check newtis.info for diagrams. You should be able to compare if clips, rivets, etc are in the same locations.

I calculated it and the total price was about 4300, if you already have the bumper and it is painted remove 1300, you still have to spend 3000 including assembly, which are about 900-1000

An OEM front bumper or an aftermarket?

How did you get it for €100? Surely they're worth about 10x that amount!

Someone sold it in ebay.. but I checked it, its 100% original.
@joan58 what did you calculate to get around 4.300?

I thought it is just, clip one bumper off and add the other one. Sure connect all the sensors, camera.
