Question about M3 lip.

My car is BMW 335 coupe, I changed the front bumper to M3-style bumper. Also i want a lip for my new bumper, however, somebody told me that normal M3 bumper lips will not fit my bumper( width?), can someone tell me if original lips for M3 front bumper will fit my my bumper?thatks alot!!!

No, I don't believe so. I think those lips are supposed to accommodate only normal M3 bumpers which are a bit wider because it has wider front fenders. But you can try!

If youre bumper is indeed a replica then you're probably out of luck. The only person I've heard of that has managed to put a lip designed for an M3 on an M3 bumper on a 335i is someone who basically squeezed an M3 bumper onto the 335i frame which of course accomodated the lip just fine.

Not without modifications, M3 lips are wider than your bumper.
