This realy helps me out, thank you very much!! Do you know the partnumber of the reinforcements needed at the sides? I have ETK but I can't find the number needed. I can see what you mean, but the piece has no number.

Again thanks very much!

Hello Pepijn,
the M535i has no steel front cover behind the front spoiler, this part is not needed. Remove it, including the air ducts in it.
The air ducts for the brakes are integrated in the spoiler, these are 2 black plastik parts.
But you need also two additional reinforcements to fix the spoiler on the sides, exactly where the two bolts for the chrom bumper were mounted, the fix points were in the (removed) front cover.
Good luck!

I hope you can read some English. My German is to bad to write here unfortunately.
I've got this problem: I have an European E28 525i from jan. 1986.
Now I've bought a M535i front and I want to put it on, but it won't fit. The problem is that the iron part behind the bumper doesn't fit.
Does anyone know:
1. Do I have to remove the iron which is behind the original bumper?
2. The airducts for cooling the brakes hit the iron when I fit the bumper/spoiler. Is the iron front that different between M535i and a non-M535i?
Which parts do I have to remove or replace to fit the M535i bumper?
Hope you can help me. Answer can be normally in German, I can read Germen pretty well, I just can't wright it that well.
