Awesome video. looks like fitment is good.

Note to everyone out there. Make sure to have it painted while ON the car. Fitment will be TOTALLY different once painted. If painted off of the car, what ever position the bumper is in when painted is the form the bumper will take, if it is hung oddly or sitting oddly during/post paint it can twist and then fitment will not be as simple as shown.
Pay the extra amount and have it painted after you install it.

(my last kaminari front end was 100% perfect before paint. once painted the point near the headlight was pushed in during painting. The paint wouldnt allow it to flex back when I went to install it. Even with a flex agent in the paint.)

Thank for you for saying this Nick. I respect your opinion because your car warrants the respect. So what nick is say is true...please don't complain if you take to this bumper and it doesn't fit after its been painted...Pay the extra dollars and have a body shop do the install. I did! But the bumper does it fit like stated by viniati.

On sides note, everyone needs to realize that with with non-oem parts your going to have make things work. Remember, Your are CUSTOMIZING your car. Key word CUSTOM. . I'm just saying this because I know people on this site. I don't want to be blamed for anything down the road.

My wheels are 18x8.5 offset is 35 on 225/40.18 falken ze-512 And Yes I rub, but this was happening b4 the bumper. I have since fixed the problem by realigning my splash-guards. Thanks you for complement.

I don't know. but I believe they will fit but mounting them inside bumper could be a problem. Mostly because of my lack of ability. Also your what are suggesting is really difficult do because this isn't an OEM e46 bumper and BMW designed there fogs to fit a OEM bumper. So I don't know. Also, I want to run fogs but I don't have money to try this out. I'm trying to cut down on mod's on my car.

I like the video stated....After me and chris tested fitted the bumper I drove it over to TnT Auto body....Where they painted bumper and installed it. I gave them my mirror cover to paint match... Me and Chris did all the test fitting on the car b4 it went to paint. After, it I got the shop. I put on my OEM bumper on and went home. I drove on Friday to SAC for TnT to install the bumper.


Also, Big thanks to TnT Auto body in SAC. If you want great quality work. Take your car to them. Tony does great work.
