M6 bumpers on 650xi

[twm6]

hi guys, I want to know if the factory M6 front/rear bumper would fit on my 12 650xi coupe and if not where can I purchase them from?

Sorry I have searched to no avail...

vendors are welcome!!!

front bumper wont fit but for the rear you just need the lower rear diffuser. I swapped mine out and it fits. I bought my parts at getbmwparts.com

so I already purchased a cheap M6 rear bumper with diffuser from a local junk, what else do I need from your list to complete the installation?

Not sure if you have the lower diffuser panel that connects the rear diffuser to the underside of the car. Other than that just remove the diffuser from your car and junked bumper and swap them out with existing hardware. Pretty simple, start on edge of by exhaust and move to the center when prying off. Remove all hardware 1st.

I was looking at carbon fiber diffusers specifically made for the 650 but just left it OEM for now. I never got that whole make my car look like an M6 thing, The M6 is in a league of its own compared to the 650, keep it a 650 I say, or get an M6.

[twm6]

for me its not about making the car look like a m6 wanna be, i am just purely liking the rear diffuser and i want it on my car

+1. And all the nice addons have been created to fit the M6 bumpers and they forget about the 650. But I want to run quad tips and the m6 diffuser looks so much better than the cutouts on the 650.

Not trying to pretend I have an M6, otherwise I would change more or would have bought one. But, there are certain attributes that are nice so we customize our cars. Anyone that changes wheels or adds a spoiler isn't trying to do anything but enjoy the ride

Here's my updates today. Still getting fine tuned b

Nice... why didn't you get M performance rear diffuser? I believe the one you have is for M6GC

Not what i meant, what i meant was that you can mod however much you want, just doesn't have to be the parts or look from an M6. I did BMW performance grills, so they are not the M ones, a custom quad exhaust that is completely different looking from the M6 tips, custom wheels, etc. I don't care what anyone does with their cars, it's just my personal opinion that if you're going to customize your car, go custom and not the parts from the next model up the chain.

Yes, from the GC. I wasn't sure how aggressive I wanted to go with it but I knew I wanted the quad tips and, hence, had to do something. Found a takeoff GC carbon diffuser for a real good price so decided to try it. It's ok, but I may do something else in the future.

I wasn't trying to take too much of a position, sorry if it sounded that way! The one nice thing about platform "borrowing" is that you can find parts that stay true to the original engineered product. And in some cases, warranty won't be cancelled either if you just use other BMW parts.
