I COMPLETELY Changed the look of the front end on my BMW G80 M3!

I went a year of owning this car without messing with the front end, at all! But, I've decided on upgrading with mods that I believe suit this G80 VERY well. I'll take you behind the scenes during this install and do my best to offer a few tips/tricks if you plan on doing similar mods yourself.
Additionally! I took the opportunity (given the bumper was already removed) to custom fabricate a lower radiator guard to provide protection from rocks, debris, etc while driving. This will further protect this G80 for the long haul as to mitigate any potential disasters from occurring from rocks etc. No Thanks!

I probably should’ve put a front radiator guard in when I did the grille. I only put the zunsport one on the bottom.

Are you kidding? This looks sick, esp with the red stripes. I love the look. In fact I’m looking to do the exact same front to my 2024 M4. Did you share where you bought it? I missed that. Btw, i also put a 1/4” red stripe on the flat end of the side skirts. You may want to consider that to tie into the Front red stripes. Looks great!

Thanks for the video! I’ll be installing my grille here soon and also cut out the mesh insert for the lower radiator as you showed. Where do you attach the zip ties? Maybe it’s obvious when I remove the bumper but was just wondering.

@legacydriven 2 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks! Glad the video helped you. So, for the zip ties, I secured them in each corner + 1 in the center on top, and one in the center on bottom. 6 total. I went through the mesh, then through the outside portion of the cooler, then back around to secure. This way it avoids “pinching” or “flattening” any of the aluminum fins. I’m happy to share pics of this doesn’t make sense.

@redsox418 2 ай бұрын

@@legacydriven That makes sense and what I was thinking of as well. So for example, on the left side of the mesh you had one zip tie going through the bottom and one through the top and did you just end up connecting them from the backside of the radiator and tightening them up so it was secure?

@legacydriven 2 ай бұрын

@@redsox418 Exactly, except, I actually routed it so I could connect/secure the ties on the front side of the cooler. The back side is just too difficult to reach with your hands I found. Let me know how it turns out! 👊🏼

How do you find the TBii paint is to maintain. I was considering this color vs doing an individual British racing green. I have a paint to sample 911 in dark olive metallic… so might be nice mixing it up with a blue.

@legacydriven Ай бұрын

Nice! I really like the olive metallic colors, or even gunmetal metallic style colors. Also, this is individual Interlagos Blue, not Tanzanite. It’s fairly easy to maintain, but it’s also fully coated in SB3 Ceramic so that certainly helps!

@DoctorSpeedy1050 Ай бұрын

@@legacydrivenI didn’t realize it was interlagos. No wonder if looks so good. I had a LBB m2 prior to my 911 and love blue bmws. Maybe the move is a full individual blue like your own. The tanzanite seems too dark if you want to keep it reasonably clean looking and not show every mark

@legacydriven Ай бұрын

Yeah, the Interlagos is an incredible color and it really holds up well when clean and dirty. I love blue on cars as well! 🤝

What car did you have before the G80? Long term impressions? Can you see yourself keeping it for 3-4 more years?

@legacydriven 3 ай бұрын

For sure. So before this I had a G20 M340i. I actually bought that car while I waited on my G80 given it took well over a year. I absolutely intend to keep the G80 long term and have no intention of selling it anytime soon. It’s an absolute monster and all around usable daily at the same time. I love it.
