Front bumper aluminum support to kevlar swap question

[DI46LO]

What's up nam3forum, over the weekend my headlight washer cover fell off somewhere along the road and now I'm looking at my options. Since the car's going to paint I figured it could be my chance to swap to the euro bumper but that seems to lead to some complication.

My car is an earlier model that came with the aluminum support but the availability of the euro bumper seems to support the kevlar one - so herein lies my question:

[TLDR] What all is needed to swap to the kevlar bumper support?

The diagram on realoem doesn't help me much.

If anyone has a resource or info they can share it would be greatly appreciated - I tried searching but not a whole lot of info out there from what I can tell.

Try this. Some links in there to model years for earlier M3s and later M3s and associated mounting hardware. It focuses on fitment of the actual Euro bumper cover, but decent info in there.

Thanks! After a little more research I found a post from robgill that basically said it uses the same hardware to mount as well - Should be good now
