M-Sport vs M rep bumper accessories

Can someone please tell me the difference if there is one between the two. I've been debating on the M rep bumper for my e92 coupe from J levi but apparently aftermarket lips dont fit due to the width factor. I want to add the ARKYM front lip for the M - Sport bumper but not sure which bumper to go with in addition not wanting to pay the $900 bucks at tisher to get the M sport. Is M sport the M(tech) bumper.

Correct me if I am wrong but the Jlevi bumper is a replica of the M3 bumper. Modified to fit the stock e92 body. You don't really have any reliable m-sport (m-tech) replicas.

I was under the impression that the M-Tech bumper was the M3 bumper just modified by BMW for non M models. They look almost identical i think, although I've never seen the two side by side in person.

The M-Tech front bumper is entirely different looking than M3 front bumper.

As you know, there are currently M3 Style Rep front bumpers available for the E92 thru forum sponsors, no M-Tech style rep front bumpers that I know of.

I simply added the M-Tech front spoiler to my standard E92 bumper - sorta looks like the M-Tech once added & much less expensive...

The M-Sport bumper is an M inspired bumper from BMW designed for the non-M models.

Our M3 Style Bumper is just that, an exact copy of the OE BMW M3 Front bumper designed to fit the narrower non-M body.

M3 Style Front Bumper


Note: Our M3 Style Front bumper includes fogs and mesh in the outer brake ducts, the OE M3 bumper does not have fogs or this mesh.

Perfect ? bowser. Thats one of my biggest concerns. I like both bumpers but with additional accessories. I want the m3 bumper but not sure if anything will fit the new narrow contour.
