M4 Bumper Fit on F10

NikoNJ · 06-04-2015, 09:54 AM

Does anybody know if the M4 Body kit will fit the f10? If not, does anybody know of a place to get it retrofitted.

OEMonsterz · 06-04-2015, 10:43 AM

I don't think the M4 is as wide as the F10. The brackets hangers and anything else will be different as well.

Any ideas? I want that aggressive yet luxury look for my 535 but I'm kind of bored of the m-sport/m5 bumpers. The alpina is nice but I can't see dropping $10,000 on a kit lol

You can have someone do a custom job for you for $10k. Or if you can drum up enough demand, get a shop to do 20 kits for a group buy and spread the R&D cost.

Your best bet are the Europe, Singapore, HK guys. These cars are like $400k over there so paying $10-20k for mods is actually a sane decision.

A 1M style bumper for the F10 already exists. Maybe that would be aggressive enough for you. Here you go.

I'd be all over this if it was made with OEM material and not fiberglass. Only thing with this front end is there's no lip kits to add but I did thought about adding those carbon fiber skid plates?

OEMonsterz · 06-04-2015, 02:23 PM

I think extremedimension is specially in fiber glass if I'm correct. I would stay away from fiber glass. And btw you have a..so unique idea there lol. Never thought of M4 body kit on f10 lol

I personally don't care what the material is only because I have a lease. So it's gunna be used for 2 years and then I'm gunna sell it lol

jasonle89 · 06-04-2015, 02:50 PM

Oh I see

snowmuch · 06-04-2015, 02:53 PM

Put that $10,000 towards G series!

You'll care if it's misaligned, warped, cracked, and making painting it extra difficult.

You see all those cheap cars with body kits that cracks? It's FG parts.

You look closer and realize their paint finish is different than the rest of the car. Yep, it's because it's FG and the finishing is usually crap.

You get into a low speed rear end in a parking lot and your bumper looks like it fell apart. Yep, FG durability.

You want to add LED Foglights to your new front bumper? You have a high chance of cracking it if you have to modify it.

If you're going to get a new bumper, the lowest you should go with is urethane. Lasting 2-3 years is actually pretty good for FG. Most of the guys I know with FG body kits always end up with cracks unless they just plain baby the car all the time. That's hard to do if it's your DD. Most of the time, FG doesn't to fit 100% right. There's always some kind of inconsistent gap problems even when it fits. It's cheap for a reason.

lsturbointeg · 06-04-2015, 09:30 PM

Lacster had some pictures He posted of this bumper from Extreme Dimensions. I'll try to find it.

lsturbointeg · 06-04-2015, 09:34 PM

Here u go! Like I said...if it was OEM material or even eurethane I'd be all over it cause it's clean and not too aggressive. I mean are there any other bumpers we could run that's actually Nice besides the MSport?

Had no idea. Thanks for the info. I always had m-sport cars so I always felt crazy to buy a new bumper. But I guess I'll make sure to stay away from fiber glass.

Definitely stay away from FG!

OEMonsterz · 06-05-2015, 03:29 AM

Still deliberating

lsturbointeg · 06-05-2015, 03:27 PM

I've had fiberglass body kits back in the days and as long as it's installed correctly it'll last. This front end is Nice but really really wish it was made with at least eurathane.

I have a fiberglass bumper on my Infiniti and its holding up pretty damn good. Just a small tiny crack when I ran into a raccoon going about 40 mph. Much less damage than I expected and had it fixed up.

As long as the body shop is pro and has worked on fiberglass, you shouldn't have an issue
