Very nice. Post pics after install.

No one can verify if F30 side blades fit F32 yet. Only option there is still OEM matte black blades for the F82, which do fit.

They will fit but only 95% perfect. At the rear of the car, the F32 doesn't flair out as much as the F82.

Well...there goes that idea too. But still interested in seeing yours installed too since you got the F82 pieces. PM me the pics if you don't want to thread-jack.

I think this thread is a fine place to jack.... I haven't installed mine as I'm using them as a template for some homemade "side blade extensions" as BMW likes to call them.

Ideally I'd like to use the same material for a homemade front splitter so that the material matches front and side. I have no use for tacked-on raw carbon fiber on our car.

That's my dream anyway.

If I have time I'll get you a pic of what I mean. Would measurements help you FC4?

Did you read the specs on that tape? There are other / better tapes too. That was just the first link I grabbed. i think with the tape, it's all in the prep work and how clean your mating surfaces are.

With the tape and screws, you could probably use half as many screws thus less holes in your rocker panels.......OEm uses both tape and screws AND betalink.

OP, have you considered using OEM hardware to install your pieces? Have you checked out the OEM installation instructions?

yeah i guess i'm going to use 3m tape and screws only without betalink
even if Screws are holding alone 3M tape will help and will make an *Washer* effect to keep both surfaces abit away from each other and still tight.

i have seen the intstruction which uses like 17 screws each side . won't drill 17 hole into it sorry!BMW!!

i removed ///M door side sills but can't find a screw or anything that holds up the sideskirts :S anyone converted from (X) to Msport got idea how to remove the sideskirts?

[G30 B58]

Why do you wanna remove the rocker panels? So you can use the nuts provided? The OEM side blades / skirts instructions don't remove them.

Just sayin'.

yeah but how am i supposed to drill with it when its on the car :S

[G30 B58]

OK, the OEM side splitters come pre-drilled so you hold them up there, mark your rocker panel then drill on the marks. Then use the OEM expanding plastic rivets.

You case is a little bit different but still doable w/o removing the rocker panels.

So did you install the M4 side blades yet?

[retiredmarine]

I did my side skirts, drilled the 17 holes, and used the tape/rivets. they are solid once you get them on, trust me.

Nope, I said I was making some knock-offs on my own.

I will get you some test fit pics of the OEM units this weekend.
