Just ordered my M3 xdrive in TBii. I skipped the CF package, and this is the only part of the package I really want. Nice to see there’s a reasonable aftermarket option.
Thank man! I went with the shadowline trim delete, so the rear spoiler and side mirrors are color matched… which I prefer over carbon. Will definitely get these carbon air ducts in carbon and probably the rear diffuser.
Just did my 2022 a few weeks ago. I did mine on jackstands. It was a pain in the ask, but just keep plugging away at it, and you’ll get it done. I didn’t have the double sticky tape on mine. Not sure if it was a new update for the 2022, but I kept looking at the video and looking at my bumper, and nothing.
@@WhatsyourForte that’s what I figured. I thought about adding it because I had some from a wing install, but then I decided that if it didn’t come with it, I was just leaving it alone. The video was still invaluable during the install process. 🙌🙌🙌
I've been waiting for someone to do this install and purchase aftermarket parts versus OEM (which are way overpriced). Great effort extended to get the job done, James. I was so inspired I just spent £1,244.49 ($1,700.97) to get my front carbon air inlets and a carbon rear diffuser with the carbon surround which should go perfect with my Remus exhaust when it comes in. How many weeks should it take, and I will definitely have the parts professionally installed here in Raleigh. Thanks for the seven percent discount!
I know I'm late to the party and that you've moved on to the M5 but I was wondering how difficult was it to line up the bumper afterwards and get your gaps right? Did you have to mess around adjusting angles or was fitment spot on once tightened up all the screws and whatnot?
Wassup brotha, how hard is it to push the bottom of the bumper together, I got my car on a lift now but its not popping into place. Im an inch away from lining up the bolts and its strong
I k ow this is late but a friend has a set he ordered and is selling them to me. He did not like the way they had a gap in the corner. I saw you mentioned this also buy at the end it looked as if you fixed the gap. Did you have to finagle it to reduce the gap in corner?
You can but once you take off the mesh there are parts behind that are a little exposed and not all black. I don’t think it would look right in my opinion
@@WhatsyourForte definitely. Picking up one just like the one you had. No parking assist pack or buckets but all I care about is performance. Looking for all the carbon bits that are uniform. What do you recommend that’s good bang for your buck.
The carbon looks good on the car. I would be concerned about the underside radiator get a hole in it. I've heard on the f80M3 that they has cooler in same place. Thats crazy how you already have bent fans and I'm sure you don't have many miles on it.
Nice video! Car is looking amazing! I just took a look at the site. Couple questions....you need to order qty 2 of this right? So £549.99 x2? Did you have to pay tax since they are located overseas? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I regret so much about not getting the carbon fiber option, and been thinking about getting aftermarket since I picked my M4. One questions, if I get aftermarket mods like this installed on my car, will it affect my 3 year coverage or my warranty? Thank you!
Great video thanks very much. How long for the bumper removal and then attachment? Could you mount something to the vanes of the grill and run the wire up and to the right(Drivers side) with out removing the whole bumper?
nvm just saw that you explain that , BMW trash that is a horrible design smh they didn't learn from F8X Gen bro smh something hits that thing your engine DONE.
I don’t as the aftermarket options will be cheaper depending on labor if you don’t install yourself. If you pay for labor plus parts then the carbon pack is a good deal to save time
@@WhatsyourForte yes I was going to ask why you didn’t get the carbon pack , I don’t know if it’s the same in U.S as in UK , carbon pack around £4500 not a lot of saving if any by going aftermarket
You know it’s a real installation when you sweating in excitement to do you own mod on your vehicle 👌🏽👌🏽
Yessir
This is a must. Looks so much better than the mesh
I 100% agree
Been waiting for someone to do aftermarket. Keep up the content bro!
Thanks man
Anxiety level 110%
Yeah this install made me nervous lol
Hell yeah, my dude with the install vid and plug 🙌🏼
Yessir.. you know I got you
Just ordered my M3 xdrive in TBii. I skipped the CF package, and this is the only part of the package I really want. Nice to see there’s a reasonable aftermarket option.
Yeah this is the only part I wanted also. I was happy to see this option in the aftermarket as well. Congrats on the car

Yeah my buddy did not have the tape either. They must have took that off. It doesn’t really need it

Always taking one for the team , great job buddy....
Thanks
I think you should market the oil cooler protection device. Great idea 💡 .
You talking about the skid plate? I have a video on that already on the channel.
Should have put mesh behind at the sometime to protect the radiator fins, but great job WELL DONE !
Thanks. I figure if BMW will sell the cars without mesh with the same inlets, I should be fine.

Thanks Martin. Once the ordered is confirmed it takes about 10 days usually. Sometimes quicker. Just let me know if you run into any problems. Thanks
Ok so basically option it with carbon package or live without it lol
lol it is a lot of work but it can be done.
@@WhatsyourForte too much work for me!
Looks way better. Coming along nicely!
Thanks. I like them soo much more
Loving the upgrade, little details make all the difference!
Yes they do. Thanks
Looks much better! After seeing you do this, I may have a shop do mine. Thanks for the video!
Thanks
I hope this channel grows fast man, loving the content you’ve been putting out, and you are a funny Man too🤣
Thank you very much.
I know I'm late to the party and that you've moved on to the M5 but I was wondering how difficult was it to line up the bumper afterwards and get your gaps right? Did you have to mess around adjusting angles or was fitment spot on once tightened up all the screws and whatnot?
So once i started tightening everything it all came into place. It was not that bad.
@@WhatsyourForte Nice with your vid I might tackle this myself and I'll shout on how it goes.
@@wilsonucon you can do it. Just take your time. This was my first time taking off a BMW bumper and I did it on camera. So you should be fine 😂
Great result and awesome looking, but what pain in the a$$ is to remove this bumper in relation with the F80 M3.
Thanks
Wassup brotha, how hard is it to push the bottom of the bumper together, I got my car on a lift now but its not popping into place. Im an inch away from lining up the bolts and its strong
It should fit without too much force… if you got to apply a lot of force something is not in the correct place
Install their mirror caps too and lets see 'em!
Maybe. I actually like the black mirrors plus I have them PPF’d right now.
@@WhatsyourForte me too, but I need someone else to check fit and finish before me :)
Have to love your carbon fiber goodies to do that much work. It does look cool!
Yep 😂
Drink water while your doing the next installation...in the heat. I ordered my M4 Comp Brooklyn Grey with the (71C)Carbon Exterior Package.
I had 2 big bottles. I got caught in the rain in the beginning of the video also.
Congrats on the car
Looks sleek and clean
I k ow this is late but a friend has a set he ordered and is selling them to me. He did not like the way they had a gap in the corner. I saw you mentioned this also buy at the end it looked as if you fixed the gap. Did you have to finagle it to reduce the gap in corner?
Yeah… I adjusted it behind the bumper, and pushed really hard. It is a tough fitment.
@@WhatsyourForte thanks for your response and I'm still mad you sold the M3.. 🤣
Looks dope, I’ve learned that I do NOT want to do this lol, so respect to you, big bruh! Love the channel and what you are doing! 🔥🤙🏾🔥
Hey brother ! Can we just take off the mesh part of the grill ans keep the black inlet that is connected to it ? Much appreciated
You can but once you take off the mesh there are parts behind that are a little exposed and not all black. I don’t think it would look right in my opinion
You gon have to do all that again for the grill lol.
Yeah when I did this the grills where not available… yeah I would advise anyone now to do it all at once 😂
@@WhatsyourForte definitely. Picking up one just like the one you had. No parking assist pack or buckets but all I care about is performance. Looking for all the carbon bits that are uniform. What do you recommend that’s good bang for your buck.
hey brother! great video. quick question, at what point am i able to take those honey comb grills where the inlets are? Thank you!
Thank you. Are you asking if I am going to sell them?
@@WhatsyourForte no no, like at what stage where you able to take the honey comb grills off?
The carbon looks good on the car. I would be concerned about the underside radiator get a hole in it. I've heard on the f80M3 that they has cooler in same place. Thats crazy how you already have bent fans and I'm sure you don't have many miles on it.
Yeah the Carbon looks great. Yeah they should have learned from the other car. Car has 7k miles on it
Nice video! Car is looking amazing! I just took a look at the site. Couple questions....you need to order qty 2 of this right? So £549.99 x2? Did you have to pay tax since they are located overseas? Thanks!
You just need to order 1. It comes as pairs. Yes I believe so.
@@WhatsyourForte OK. well if that is the case, they are the least expensive option out there. The cheapest I've found in the US is $749 per side.
He said I just like to do these by hand. Then he saw the 50 others and was like fuck that lol
😂 yep it was getting late
That’s dope!!!! Mannn I can’t wait to get a m3 someday!!!
Yessir thanks
Thanks for the video. I regret so much about not getting the carbon fiber option, and been thinking about getting aftermarket since I picked my M4. One questions, if I get aftermarket mods like this installed on my car, will it affect my 3 year coverage or my warranty? Thank you!
I don’t think so unless during the installation someone messes something up. They have to prove the modification caused the warranty issue to deny it
Great video thanks very much. How long for the bumper removal and then attachment? Could you mount something to the vanes of the grill and run the wire up and to the right(Drivers side) with out removing the whole bumper?
Now that I have done it, I could do it in around an hour or so. I think it would be difficult to do so without moving the bumper
Is it possible to just remove the honeycomb and not install the carbon?
I guess you can but it would just be black exposed plastic and gaps
Man I'm just gonna pay a shop to do this 😅😅 this was the only Cf part I liked on the exterior package.
Hahah it is a lot of work
Then joints hawddddd 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it bro. A lot of sweat equity on this one 😂
Did BMW leave that oil cooler exposed like that ? or did you already remove the cover for it ?
nvm just saw that you explain that , BMW trash that is a horrible design smh they didn't learn from F8X Gen bro smh something hits that thing your engine DONE.
Yeah it’s wild that they do that.
Nice video bro. You work hard on this one, but it does look good. Lip is next
Yeah man. Thanks. Yeah the car really needs one
Great video! Very detailed
Thanks man
Amazing video!!!
Thanks man
A little too much for me to do but looks freaken hot!
Hahha you can do it!!!! Thanks
Do you justify the price BMW charges for the M carbon exterior package?
I know it also includes the mirror caps, rear diffuser and rear spoiler.
I don’t as the aftermarket options will be cheaper depending on labor if you don’t install yourself. If you pay for labor plus parts then the carbon pack is a good deal to save time
I believe the mirror OEM carbon is not attacked with 3M but solid
Need those but def not installing myself 🤣
Just get a buddy to help you lol
Great video as always! In my opinion way too much work and not worth it. I am glad I went with the carbon package.
It is a lot of work.
@@WhatsyourForte yes I was going to ask why you didn’t get the carbon pack , I don’t know if it’s the same in U.S as in UK , carbon pack around £4500 not a lot of saving if any by going aftermarket
Should have just gotten the carbon package…
Nah. I wanted to be able to create content for future owners. It will come out cheaper to do the work yourself.
bro, nice install, that was a lot of work and I would have lost patience early in the process....
Hahaha I almost did. 😂
I am waiting for my allocation and your videos are nice to watch while I wait. Keep it up.
The link is broken! Is this still available?
try xxiituning.com and code WYF32
Shit looks so clean!!
Thanks bro
James, was that your G80 in Greenville yesterday at BMW? Best looking BMW there!
Yes it was. I was at the Cars and Cookout event.
Thanks
👌🏾
