[6pan]

like I said above is it possible to change the front bumper

[darkrom]

It is possible. The dealer quoted me $1700 installed. I have the N55 but the body is the same.

do you know what is involved

you can purchase a used m-sport bumper off ebay for your model year. The install is really straightforward. Certain dimensions are different compared to stock, but you shouldn;t have any fitment issues.

what do you mean by dimensions

[jordan35i]

I heard the m sport is different from the regular in that you have to move around internal parts like the radiator etc. to do the conversion

Is this just a myth?

I think you're right

The X1 M Tech front bumper was an exact replica of the OEM one, came with all the grills and the foglights. It cost $449 last summer. I don't see them on eBay right now though.

There are a few kits going for $300 might bite the bullet and test it out

[darkrom]

Where is there a kit for $300. For that price I'd expect fiberglass trash or I'm misunderstanding.

So will the m-sport bumper fit and clip on with the stock fender flares still attached ?
