Another Xline to M Sport Bumper Question

Guys,

So coming back to the states, I have been searching around the forums recently and wanted to get an answer on changing my wife's xline bumper into the M Sport body kit.

So I luckily do have connections (body shops/junk yards) to get the bumpers and side rails for little to no money.

My question is will it be a direct fit? Especially with the front camera, sensors and such. Any damaged parts I can replace. I'll end up getting from ECS Tuning (https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...d/51952356907/) if anything.

I've been searching around the threads and usually people tell you not to for the cost, or get an kit for the existing xline bumper.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

Yes, it s a direct fit....both are F15s.
Only issues are if, say, one has nozzle sprayers, while the other one does not.
Or night vision etc....but can be worked out.
Problem is mainly in the front, rear is quite simple, you will have to switch to new tips
There is a BMW-authored document on how to do it, step by step.

Gotcha,

I'll look into that when I get the bumpers.

Any link or direction you can point me to see the document from BMW that shows this step by step?
