Looking to upgrade my front bumper

Ballsyone · 10-09-2014, 06:14 PM

2008 335i and some guy backed into my front bumper while parked. I was looking at the M Tech M3 bumper for my car but I am not sure about buying an after market bumper. I spoke to 3 different body shops and none were crazy about the idea.

I spoke to my BMW dealership today and they told me that BMW makes an M3 bumper for the 335i. About $2500 + install.

Does anyone have experience with the M Tech?

I know when the BMW dealership damaged my front bumper, and I got an M-sport bumper, new fog lights, and piping were required. Luckily for me it was all free. The air duct piping and all that stuff adds up fast.

Plenty of people have done it in this forum though.

As long as the bumper is PolyPropolene or however you spell it, it will work. Believe me, just make sure to have body shop install, because they can heat it up and flex it if needed etc..

Have you looked into the Arkym front bumper? That's my favorite e92 bumper. If mine ever gets damaged I'd get an Arkym front to replace it.

I cant see where ur located but a reputable body shop will charge u anywhere from 600-1000 for a mtech or m3 front bumper painted and installed its been done literally a million times this forum is literally just people doing mtech / m3 conversions

MrMushu · 11-01-2015, 03:12 PM

I got my m3 rep off of eBay for like $270 shipped from Cali to NC.

Came with all hardware and fogs.

Fitment is perfect.

Make sure you buy the one that's made in Taiwan

Cheers
