Lovely motor and mods BUT there was NO need whatsover to scratch the paintwork, heat the boot lid, align up and press firmly 👍 , additional adhesive tape (without the bond) is more than sufficient
My guts churned when I saw sand paper touching the paint work 😵. Defo improves bond I can but this is the 1st video on TH-cam to show sand paper usage. Nice work though
I used to get guys come into my showroom who only used the 3m tape on their front splitter and it nearly always would be peeling away from the bumpers - always good to go the extra mile 👌🏾
110% use the glue - I've seen so many cars that just use the screws and when the dirt and water gets between the small sticky seals it starts to peel off and look pretty terrible
Nice one for putting this video up, I’m going to be fitting my replacement splitter tomorrow after damaging it, and fitting myself will save me £100 cheers geeza any pointers or anything to look for that might be a pain your knowledge would be welcomed cheers.
Have you had any problems with speed bumps or getting in and out of the drive since fitting the splitter?. Has the aero pack had any effect on performance or do you think it's merely cosmetic, it does look good especially on blue. Some people believe fitting aero parts reduces fuel economy, have you seen any changes?. The splitter really does make the front end look suitably aggressive.
Hi Peter, I haven't had too much trouble to be honest, theres a few steep junctions around where I live which I've scraped on a few times; but nothing major. As for performance and economy it's very hard to say as I only had the car a week before putting the kit on. I imagine it does make it less economical because you're adding weight to the car, but it does look so much better!
CF10 Thanks for the reply. Very tempted for the splitter and the rear diffuser. I used sticky stuff remover for the tape and glue when changing the spoiler, still took about 3 hours lol.
I couldn't recommend it enough to be honest, totally changes the car. No better feeling than seeing someone without the kit on their car, I know they're looking over like 'shit, I should do that too' 😂😂 We used some industrial strength stuff and it took ages so I feel your pain haha
Thanks for posting this mate, I've ordered an M240i, ready next March, and I wanna fit all the M Performance bits myself too. Couple of questions for ya if you don't mind, the very bottom lip on the splitter....can that be moved forward / back ? only I'e seen some that seem to 'stick' out a little more than others.....plus, do you need adapters to fit the Carbon Fibre exhaust tips to the stock exhaust ? Thanks mate
Hi Chris, I'm sure you'll love the car. The holes are fixed on the splitter so it can only fit one way. You'd have to drill new holes if you want to move it around. Replacement exhausts are very easy to fit - you'll see in the next video (This Sunday) Not sure if you're aware but I'm the director of Elite Vehicle Sourcing (A new car leasing company) I'd be interested to see the deal you've been offered on the 240i as we have an unbelievable offer on at the moment!
Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Ive actually got a November reg. 2016 230i that I bought brand new from BMW on a four year PCP plan but I'm handing that back next March for the M240i I've ordered...I've got a great deal on it with them as this is the fourth car I've bought off them....the 240 is fully loaded, sun roof, media pack, split seats blah blah, the whole shooting match and it's coming in under £480 a month. Would be interested to know how much you paid for all your M Performance bits though ?
Ahh very very nice! I think the main thing when it comes to buying cars is 'are you happy?' As long as that's a yes then you can't complain really haha. Our deal is £388 per month with no deposit (4 year deal etc) but that's for a standard 240i without the bits. I paid just over £1100 + VAT for the parts so it worked out to be a very very good deal. I already had the black Grill so I can sell that separately which should bring the total down to around £1000 + VAT.
Oh maan I need those stickers for the front splitter 🤦🏻♂️ had an original one that broke and managed to find an exact one, so much cheaper! Even comes with the lower guard and everything else like screws and glue!! Apart from the stickers and instructions lol
Hi! One cuestion. In your video there are some boxes, some of them are from the diffuser or from the splitter? I need the approximate size of the box and its weight. Can you help me with that? Thank you very much
Great video, even better to see a local Cardiff person as well. Hope i drive by and see your final modified car in the end. Since you are fitting these yourself, are there any instructions that comes from the kit from sytner?
I'm sure you'll see me flying around somewhere haha there will be a final reveal video one day but I'm just crazy busy with the business at the moment. They did print off instructions for me but for the most part you can figure it out yourself. Definitely worth having them as a reference though
Which stickers specifically? The ones on the back of the splitter are already there when you buy the part. If they're not then just grab some 3m tape because that's literally what it is 👌🏾
Love the spoiler. Nice contrast with the Estoril Blue. That will be super helpful again. Let us know if you get any close calls or scrapes with the splitter, that would be my worry! Any plans for the wing mirrors?
Thanks for the comment, I've had a few minor scrapes with the splitter coming in and out of carparks etc I find myself driving a lot slower when it comes to speed bumps too haha As for the mirrors - I've got a reveal video planned for release in a week or 2
Also, BMW say if you buy the front splitter without the spoiler it can affect the aerodynamics of the car. Half of me thinks 'of course they're gonna say that' but the other half is like 'imagine if it does and you end up in a bush'
Your car looks great mate 👌👍😎 But like the rest said never scratch the paint work 👍as this is your pride and joy 👌 I know my beemer is mine, and I most definitely would not scratch my car lol But great job well done 👍its your car you decide the way to do with it as you see fit👌 Looks fantastic tho 👍👍👍and great colour Looking forward to seen the next few mods Cheers bro👍😎🙏👌
Hey man I have a 2016 m235 and mine came with the m performance splitter, I want to remove it and get a a carbon fiber but do you know if I have to remove the bumper to remove the splitter or is it just pretty much just like this process?
You literally just do the reverse of fitting it, so undo the screws that go into the bumper, warm up the plastic so the glue behind gets soft and then use a couple of trim removal tools to peel it off. Shouldn't take more than 30 mins 👍🏾👍🏾
So I already have the m performance splitter but had a whack with a low curb and now cracked - going to replace and after seeing this may try myself. Anyone know how to take off the old one easily as it is likely to have been bonded on? Any help much appreciated!
Ah we've all been there, just do the process in reverse. There may be some glue but you can either put more glue on top of try to remove what's there. If I'm honest, most people are lazy and just use the adhesive stickers that are on the splitter so I don't imagine you'll have too many issues.
I got all the parts direct from BMW. They had a deal where if you buy the whole kit (splitter, skirts, grill, exhaust, spoiler, diffuser) you actually get it cheaper than buying just the skirts, splitter and diffuser. Seemed like a no brainer at the time!
Ah sorry - I mean the M Exhaust tips - not the actually M Performance Exhaust...but, if you check out the channel there's a nice little free mod which should do the trick 👍🏾

good old dad lol... nice to see you both doing this.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work, I never scratched my paint, but my spoiler hasn’t budged at all. Loving your car.
Yeh a few people have said that, at least we know for next time 😊
Its crazy how much of a difference little mods like that make. The car looks awesome!
100%! I'm gonna do a reveal video soon because I've done some other stuff to the car since these videos. Just waiting on the right weather 😂
Lovely motor and mods BUT there was NO need whatsover to scratch the paintwork, heat the boot lid, align up and press firmly 👍 , additional adhesive tape (without the bond) is more than sufficient
Ah I see, strangely enough the BMW instructions actually said to scratch it - the kit came with light sandpaper haha
Nobody ever follows the "scratching the spoiler" part of the instructions except BMW lol, looking forward to seeing your future mods 👍
hahaha damn it! Luckily I have no plans to take it off anytime soon. New video on Sunday :)
CONGRATS youve just ruined your trunk bu scuffing it. there is no need for that to make the adhesive to tack.
Only ruined if the spoiler comes off. If not, no one knows...unless you watch this video 😂
yes true :D
@@JamesCF10 My heart breaks hearing the scratches :(
Goodness me there's no going back now!
highly doubt any future owner is going to want to take the spoiler off their m235i
My guts churned when I saw sand paper touching the paint work 😵. Defo improves bond I can but this is the 1st video on TH-cam to show sand paper usage.
Nice work though
Lool I guess it doesn't matter as long as the part stays on
Do you also gonna install side skirts and make a movie for that? Good Work!
STREEZ that’s gonna be released today 👌🏾👌🏾 won’t be long
Spoiler looks great but I’m not keen on the m performance splitter. I’m looking at carbon options.
Realise this is a very old video, but where did you get the front splitter from?? Cheers ma Man!!
Direct from BMW
@@JamesCF10 ah class fairplay!
My spoiler is connected to adhesive tapes only. Bought the strong ones from 3M. I never experienced any issues with the stickiness.
I used to get guys come into my showroom who only used the 3m tape on their front splitter and it nearly always would be peeling away from the bumpers - always good to go the extra mile 👌🏾
I've bought a front splitter from carbon factory for my m240i.... seems to not fit properly 😕
Did you get it from BMW
when u take off the lip will the glue not take the paint off?
Nope, but also - just don't take the lip off
@@JamesCF10 meant like when if u sell the car in the future
@@cal1518 Sold it as is - There's loads of non m performance cars out there to choose from if someone wanted one
How come you've glued the splitter on? I thought the bolts would be enough
110% use the glue - I've seen so many cars that just use the screws and when the dirt and water gets between the small sticky seals it starts to peel off and look pretty terrible
Nice one for putting this video up,
I’m going to be fitting my replacement splitter tomorrow after damaging it,
and fitting myself will save me £100 cheers geeza any pointers or anything to look for that might be a pain your knowledge would be welcomed cheers.
No worries Shaun, to be fair it’s pretty simple and I’m sure you’ll be able to do it with next to no issues 🙌🏾
Great vid bud! Nice contrast with the blue and black 👍🏼 Buying a m240 soon, will be sick! 😎
Thanks very much, I've got another video coming out tomorrow which you should like #PowerGains!

Sorry man these boxes are long gone now - best thing to do is call your local BMW dealer

CF10 I'll be sure to give you a flash when I do see you around.
Ah brilliant, many thanks for the help.
Where do those stickers come from? I need them for my splitter. I can’t seem to find the bmw part number. I’ve looked everywhere.
Which stickers specifically? The ones on the back of the splitter are already there when you buy the part. If they're not then just grab some 3m tape because that's literally what it is 👌🏾
@@JamesCF10 I think he means the black stickers that you put around the front splitter to hide the paint edge.
@@kurt_mitchell Oooooohhh, in that case - they came with the part direct from BMW. Probably worth giving your local dealership a call
Looking nice mate 👍

Where did u get the kit from
Direct from BMW
What's that black Adhesive you used?
No idea, it came as part of the kit from BMW
Whatever it was, it worked haha
RV SILICONE
Really change the behaviour with the rear spoiler or is just " stetic"?
It's really hard to say but I was doing well over 100mph the other day and it felt pretty stable to me haha
Also, BMW say if you buy the front splitter without the spoiler it can affect the aerodynamics of the car. Half of me thinks 'of course they're gonna say that' but the other half is like 'imagine if it does and you end up in a bush'
ja, ja good answer!

But like the rest said never scratch the paint work 👍as this is your pride and joy 👌
I know my beemer is mine, and I most definitely would not scratch my car lol
But great job well done 👍its your car you decide the way to do with it as you see fit👌
Looks fantastic tho 👍👍👍and great colour
Looking forward to seen the next few mods
Cheers bro👍😎🙏👌
Thanks Gerry, I'll be sure to leave it unscratched next time haha!
Is that the official m performance splitter from BMW. Or is from a 3rd party?
Everything is the real deal 👍🏾
I ordered the same splitter for my m240i. Are there screw holes already in the front bumper that fit the splitter?
You basically replace the screws that are already in the bumper with slightly longer ones that come with the kit - good luck bro 👍🏾
Thank you! I appreciate you
Where did you buy that spoiler?
All items are direct from BMW - in my latest BMW video I talk through the cost of everything too, check it out if you get a spare 10 mins 👊🏾
WD40, leave it on for 5 min then watch it rub off. Make sure your clean the surface with warm soapy water before trying to stick on the new one.
How much was the fullKit mate , cheers
Hi John, sorry I totally missed this comment - the full kit (splitter, grill, skirts, diffuser, spoiler & exhaust) cost me around £1300.00
Hey man I have a 2016 m235 and mine came with the m performance splitter, I want to remove it and get a a carbon fiber but do you know if I have to remove the bumper to remove the splitter or is it just pretty much just like this process?

Yo dude, where did you get your side skirts ?
Korea's finest supplier of course! Nah just BMW, all genuine BMW parts 👍🏾
Anyone know where I can buy a front splitter for a 2014 f20 120d ? Mines snapped and held up with a cable tie ☹
BMW usually do deals on parts, its worth giving them a shout first
Where can I buy this kit from?
Direct from BMW but you can get replica's on eBay for slightly cheaper
how much did the whole kit cost
I paid just over £1000 + VAT (20% in the UK). My local BMW have an offer on so if anyone is interested in parts just message me
So I already have the m performance splitter but had a whack with a low curb and now cracked - going to replace and after seeing this may try myself. Anyone know how to take off the old one easily as it is likely to have been bonded on? Any help much appreciated!
Ah we've all been there, just do the process in reverse. There may be some glue but you can either put more glue on top of try to remove what's there. If I'm honest, most people are lazy and just use the adhesive stickers that are on the splitter so I don't imagine you'll have too many issues.
Hey I saw you as one of birdmans patrons so heyy
Yeah Birdman is a legend 😂😂😂
Scratch the paint, that is joke. Clean properly and 3m tape will stick 110%.You should scratch front bumper too 😂
on job!
Yo great video bruv! How much did the kit cost u?
All details are explained in this video > th-cam.com/video/mWbOn73WMzc/w-d-xo.html
remind me of that American rapper TI you do bro Lol...Vids are sick you know mate
looool I get that a lot, and Snoop!
Shame you didn't colour code the bottom of the splitter cos they look still much better that way.
Still looks good though :)
Shoping parts?
What do you mean?
