Question is it possible for my e92 to fit a mtech bumper in the trunk?

recently purchased
e92 mtech front bumper
http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E92-335...per/ES1905426/
and e92 aerodynamic rear bumper
http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E92-335.../Body/ES88635/

both arrived at post office today.

my question is-

No, it will not fit.

I used an X5 to drive my mtech bumper around, and even that barely fit.

Garage List
I have fit both the MTech front & rear bumpers in my E92 with the seats down when I transported them to & from the paint shop - fit fine

I'm speaking from personal experience.

The mtech front bumper in the packaging it was shipped in did NOT fit in my trunk. MAYBE if you removed all the packaging, it might bend and fit?

Ah okay, so it does fit if you remove the packaging and bend it a little.
May I ask why you bought a front mtech bumper AND a lip? I dont think that lip fits on mtech bumpers

Did you try with the seats down? I'm pretty sure I've gotten a front bumper to fit with the seats down.

Yeah, I did have the seats down.
I didn't remove the packaging when I tried to fit it, that may have been why. The packaging itself is quite bulky, and not very flexible.

a friend wanted the lip actually, i am selling him the lip to cover some of the damage haha
the kit was OEM and it was on sale for $399 USD
i will be running mtech front and aero rear

and front bumper was a MUCH easiler fit compared to rear, did not have to bend it to try to fit at all ^^

I haven't tried with the mtech bumper, but I did put my stock front bumper inside my car. One end was in the passenger footwell, the other end in the back seat, in an upside down U sort of way. Originally I had tried to put it in my trunk the same way as trickystar, but I found that the end that sticks up in the trunk was too tall for me to close the lid.
