BMW 3 Series F30/F31 2012-2019 Side Skirt Extensions DPT V-3 (for M-Sport side skirts, Gloss Black)

Description

DPT V-3 side skirt add-ons are black gloss ABS plastic blades that are glued under the factory M-Sport side skirts on the BMW 3 Series F30 (sedan) and F31 (wagon) 2012–2019, meaning both pre-facelift and the 2015 facelift. The add-on length is 204 cm, mounting is with windshield adhesive/sealant, which is purchased separately.

Which BMW 3 F30/F31 the DPT V-3 add-ons fit

The key for choosing is not the year but the shape of the side skirt. On the F30/F31 there are two types of factory side skirts: flat base ones and M-Sport package (M-package) side skirts. The add-ons for them are different. DPT V-3 are made specifically for M-Sport side skirts, so before ordering, look at your skirt from the side and compare it with the product photo. If the car has regular base side skirts, there is a separate product for them – DPT add-ons for Base side skirts.

If you want carbon instead of gloss, for M-Sport side skirts there are carbon add-ons V1. All blade options for this model are collected in the section BMW 3 F30 side skirt tuning.

How F30 side skirt add-ons are installed

DPT blades are glued from below to the factory side skirt using windshield adhesive/sealant. Before installation, the add-on is test-fitted dry and checked for how it sits along the entire length of the skirt. The skirt surface is washed, degreased, and dried: dirt, water, and cold reduce the adhesive bond. After gluing, the part is secured with masking tape until the sealant sets. Removing a glued-on add-on is not easy, so the position should be set correctly the first time. The add-ons can also be installed at DD Tuning’s network of certified service centers — the manager will point you to the nearest one.

What to combine DPT side skirts with on the BMW 3 F30

Black gloss blades look best together with other parts in the same color: at the front — DPT Lip front bumper add-on for the M-Performance bumper, and at the rear — a diffuser. The lip and diffuser are selected by the actual bumper shape (factory, M-Sport, M-Performance, M3-look), not only by the car year. Other exterior tuning parts are in the section BMW 3 F30 body kits.
