[E91 Hoarder]

Hi Folks,

My Aero lip is scraped and peeling off the bumper. Thinking about pulling a trigger and getting a new front bumper. What are your thoughts:

1. M-Tech vs. M3 replica? I am leaning towards M-Tech as it is most stock looking and lines better with regular 3-series proportions than the M3 bumper.

2. Genuine OEM vs Aftermarket M-Tech? Is it really worth paying the OEM M-Tech bumper price, or aftermarket alternatives are just as good?

3. Any vendor recommendations for aftermarket M-Techs? Is it okay to buy on ebay? Looking for plug and play install without any alignment/mounting fuss.

The car is pre-LCI 2007 E92 335i with sport/cold/premium packages.

Cheers.
