CSL Splitter difference - new vs old - photos

[NZ_M3]

I test fitted my update set when I still had it and it was fine - but it does need the 4 plastic rivets to hold it secure.

I have noticed however that each splitter seem to be moulded to a particular bumper (I have two bumpers so makes it easier to notice things like these) and swaping one splitter to the other bumper does create fitment issues (i.e doesn't perfectly cover the cut-out in the bumper)

After failing to fit my uk dealer sourced splitters the local Sydney dealer valiantly applied the global parts warranty and ordered another pair. The first additional pair to arrive were identical so they sent pics and a pair with just two holes arrived that bore the same new part stickers but had a shape which is almost identical to the older Slovenian splitters.

Fitted with just two plastic rivets and looks as good

As the part number is the same forall, worth adding the two holes only request to any orders. They having markings for additional drill holes in case you need them.

Sorry, i need to revive this old thread :whistle:


I have a couple of the old splitters (2 holes) but i want to drill the 2 additional holes from the new design into them.
Does anyone have the exact positions of the new holes? Are there any drawings availiable perhaps from BMW or something.. anything?

I don't want to guess the positions, because when i need some replacement splitters and i were to get the newer 4 hole splitters,
i would need to drill new holes into my shiny bumper again :bigcry:


Thanks guys
