Quick answer: The front lip you can buy for a BMW F32 depends on the front bumper on your car. Cars with an M Sport front bumper take the M Sport carbon fiber lips, including GTS, GT, CS, DTM, 3D, V2 and V3 styles. Cars with an M4 style front bumper need the lip made for that bumper. These lips are not compatible with the standard front bumper, so if your car has one, upgrade the bumper first. The same guide applies to the F33 convertible and F36 Gran Coupe.
Which BMW F32 Front Lip Fits Your Car?
| Your front bumper | Front lips that fit | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| M Sport front bumper (factory or M Sport style) | GTS, GT, CS, DTM, 3D, V2, V3 and Performance lips | Choose the lip design you like best |
| M4 style front bumper | The carbon fiber front lip made for the M4 style front bumper | Order the lip listed for the M4 style bumper |
| Standard front bumper | None of the lips above. They are not compatible with the standard bumper. | Upgrade to an M Sport or M4 style bumper first |

|---|---|---|
| Look | Factory M Sport look | Aggressive front end inspired by the F82 M4 |
| Material | Durable polypropylene | Durable polypropylene |

- Model years: The bumpers are listed for 2014-2020 models.
- Your front bumper: Check whether your car has the M Sport bumper, an M4 style bumper or the standard bumper. This decides which front lip you can buy.
- Product options: Some parts come in versions, such as the M4 style front bumper's air duct and fog light cover options, or the rear bumper's diffuser options. Choose the version that matches your car.
- Mixing parts: Match the lip to the bumper on your car. Do not use an M Sport lip on an M4 style bumper, or the other way around.
Send us your car's year, model and trim and we will confirm fitment before you order.
Installation Overview
A bumper swap is a job for a body shop or experienced installer: remove the original bumper, transfer fog lights, brackets and any sensors your car has, test fit the new bumper before painting, then paint to match and check panel gaps. Our GTS lip and the lip for the M4 style bumper are bolt-on with no cutting or drilling, so lips are a much simpler add-on once the right bumper is on the car.
