How to fit DM-Autoteile Front Splitter
Just received the rep front splitter for the F36 from DM Autoteile on eBay but it seems to have only 6 holes and some of these don't even line up with any existing holes on the bumper!
They've also provided a ton of fixings I'm not sure where to even put. Anybody have any experience to fitting these and can shed some rough guidelines? |

I didn’t fit mine the body shop did but when I fitted my Genuine bmw one on my old car you still had to drill holes. Just follow the oem install guide:

You should only need to drill the centre hole not the side ones for the f32, and no adaptor plate comes with it (unlike the f30)
I unclipped (when i say unclipped most were sacrificed in the process!) the lower sides clips and the holes lined up. I cleaned the top of the front bumper, added extra 3m table to the splitter (to be safe) then stuck the top of the lip to the car. Then used genuine clips and not the ones supplied to secure the lower sections, (a couple were a few mm out, but a bit of heat and force got them to fit. Then raised the car, drilled the centre hole and use the nut and bold supplied in the kit to secure that. Job done! Had to use a hair dryer to get the top to flex a bit to get it as close as possible to the lower grills before taping it down. Then had to put half a box of plasters on my hands with the cuts/ grazes it caused!!! |

So you just drill straight through the whole bumper for the middle two holes? How do you get behind the grill area to tighten the nuts to the bolts? Also can you send a picture of where you actually fit the clips as I can't work it out for the life of me! |
