[Project] M-Performance look bumper package + GTS hood - BMW 3 Series F30

From Purchase to Result: The Process of an M Performance Look Conversion

In this article, we take you through the process of the M Performance look conversion with our M Performance bumper package and the GTS hood, specifically designed for the BMW 3 Series F30 Sedan (model years 2012-2019). We delve into the GTS hood, which is not only suitable for the F30/F31 but also for the BMW 4 Series F32/F33/F36. These modifications give the BMW a sporty and aggressive appearance.

Additionally, we discuss our bumper package, made from the highest quality materials. This package is developed to optimize both the aerodynamic performance and the aesthetics of the car. It is suitable for both the standard gasoline and diesel variants as well as hybrid models, such as the BMW 330e.

This article provides detailed information about the prices, applicability, and fit of both the M Performance bumper package and the GTS hood.

The Ordering Process

We strive to continuously improve our webshop for every user. We make it easy to find the right part. However, it may happen that you need more information about a specific product you are interested in. Do not hesitate to contact us; we have extensive knowledge of the various parts and BMW models.

Requesting Information

Recently, a customer approached us with interest in the M Performance package for his BMW 3 Series F30 Sedan. This customer drove a BMW 330e, with a completely standard exterior. The customer asked if the bumper package would be suitable for his vehicle.

"This package definitely fits," was our response. The only difference lies in the side panels, which are equipped with an extra flap for connecting the charging cable. No modifications to the side panels are needed for the installation of the bumper package.

Shortly thereafter, the GTS hood became available in our webshop. The customer immediately asked if it would also be suitable for his 330e.

"Yes, the hood is also a fit," we informed him. For the hood, you also do not need to remove or modify the side panels.

The Order and Installation

After confirming the order, we immediately got to work to prepare everything for transport to the customer. Unfortunately, the hood was still on its way at the time of the order, causing the delivery to be postponed by two weeks.

In consultation with the customer, we decided to split the delivery into two parts. This way, the customer could start with the bumper package while the hood would be delivered later.

A specialized company professionally installed and painted all the parts.

After two weeks, the GTS hood arrived, which was delivered directly via our own delivery service, which runs its routes through the Netherlands, Belgium & Germany weekly.

The Result and Customer Satisfaction

All parts have been installed, and the customer shared some photos of the final result with us. The customer was very positively surprised; the transformation gave the car a sportier and more aggressive look, and it was more than worth the investment. The difference with the standard bumpers and hood is significant.

Fit and Ease of Installation

The customer also praised the fit and ease of installation. The car company that performed the installation reported that they rarely encounter parts with such a perfect fit. "The bumpers fit like a glove on the car, just like the original bumpers," said the mechanic. The GTS hood was also praised as "the best quality available in the EU."

All seams of the hood and bumpers are seamless and fit perfectly, without any tension. The installation was straightforward and required no modifications to the side panels or hood.

Prices and Applicability

Although it is not a bargain, the investments in the bumper package (€899.00) and the hood (€849.00) were absolutely worth it. Free shipping was applicable for the order, allowing all parts to be delivered without extra costs by our professional delivery service.

Installation and Painting Costs

The final costs for installation and painting are not exactly known. We estimate the painting costs to be around €900 and the installation costs to be around €675. Together, this totals approximately €3323, depending on the actual costs.

The package is suitable for all BMW 3 Series F30 Sedan models, ranging from the 320 to 330 with dual exhaust on the left, model years 2012 to 2019. For owners of the 335 or 340, we also have suitable bumper packages available in our webshop. The hood is applicable for all models and is also suitable for the BMW 4 Series F32 Coupe, F33 Cabrio, and F36 Gran Coupe of all model years.
