New year, new bumper?

intensee92 · 01-11-2011, 02:17 PM

So on Saturday night, this girl reverses into my car in an entrance to a parking deck. All her fault. Police was already on site of the accident so it was processed somewhat fast...

Now, i'm waiting on her insurance to hit me back to find out what they are going to do. I can't get an estimate anywhere right now due to inclement weather here in Charlotte.

I will be needing a new hood, bumper, grill and drivers headlight (cracked) though. Fenders look fine for now though at least...

Question, should I just go ahead and get the Msport front bumper while i'm at it? Or just keep it with the original bumper? Or any other ideas?

I would go with the msport front bumper for sure!

msport would get my vote, you can't really go wrong with it

M-Sport or M3 Bumper for a change.

I know the feeling! had the exact same thing happen to me 3 months ago! go with the m sport, how bout a new hood for a change...love the vorsteiner with power dome (not the m3 replica)

Go with the M3 rep. It looks even more awesome in person!

m-tech/m3. gotta set yourself apart from the other e92s.

intensee92 · 01-11-2011, 07:02 PM

looks like its going to be a msport bumper for me then!

thanks for the input guys.

as for the hood ciomas, i dont think i'll be getting one in the near future. but that hood does look good.

should i get the oem msport bumper or the rep msport? i know i'll have to pay the difference if i get the oem one but the replica should be the same price as the oem bumper right?

i dont mind paying the difference though.

set yourself apart by getting a replica of a bumper that comes stock on every e92 m3?

hipnotic · 01-11-2011, 07:06 PM

m3 all the way

I opted for the M Sport bumper from Tischer. No need to mess with replicas, unless you're looking to save every dollar.

weather here in Winston is similar to what you got. I find it funny cause this is nothing in comparison to where i come from. Philly.
