M front grill inserts on M Sport front bumper

Looking add a few mods to do. Was at the dealer today and they had a 2018 M in the showroom. The front bumper is different than the M Sport but I was wondering if anyone has tried to see if the lower air intake ( right and left) would fit into the Sport bumper? If so looks like a fairly easy mod. Thanks

Yeah, doesn't fit, but would have loved if someone had made a replica version for us. Guess thats too late now though given that the F15 is over now.

Totally and I for one like the F15 design better. Not trying so hard.

Had the new X5 for 2 months and couldn't wait to get my M sport back!

That's a shame. I absolutely love the interior. Much more modern to me. Outside i agree is trying too hard.

Yea it's a love it hate it thing, It's not wrong in any way. I prefer the execution in the X7 vs how it looks in the new 5 but theirs no wrong or right answer. It's just taste and if it works for you or not.

I still own an r53 Cooper S and never bought a newer one because I don't think they improved on the design since then. Yea teck is better but the designs just get more and more busy and larger.
