M2 Winglets Installation

Hi,

I purchased a set of front and side winglets and I wonder if anyone that has fitted them has a installation manual on how to fit them. The only one I've managed to find online has been in German.

Thanks Cam

Hope this helps.

My husband installed the front and side winglets and didn't use the liquid adhesive (BMW sells the entire kit; aka Betalink). He prep'd the surface with adhesion promoter (We had the betalink kit as it came with the rear spoiler). You will need a rivet tool. Let me know and I'll post what he purchased off of Amazon as he said it worked perfectly.

You're very welcome, added the Amazon link to the post above. Definitely use the BMW rivets as they were superior (stronger) to the ones provided by Amazon with the rivet tool. I remember seeing him install these and the fronts were much easier than the side skirts since they align using much of the front bumper hardware. The side skirts have some play in them and this could lead to them being misaligned when comparing sides.

Reviving this as I’m having a little trouble fitting the fronts. I can’t seem to get these to slide onto the underbody piece correctly (page 10 below.) How far did you guys pull the underbody off? Just pull it down or slide it out from under the front bumper entirely?
