Found this m3 style bumper on eBay for only 320. seller has good feedback and it's made out of polypropylene. Crossing my fingers it looks exactly like the pic.

That's the regular going rate for them. The ones I've seen don't fit the best, but you can't complain for the price.

Well my current bumper has a huge crack in it so even if it's not oem fit I won't complain

Not really, what happens if you have a problem after exchanging feedback? Buying eBay or Amazon parts is not the best idea unless price is the number one factor. You're putting an M3 bumper on a 328?

In the description it says returns are excepted so if I'm not pleased with quality I'll return it. And yes price is a bit of factor at the moment since I won't be at work for a few weeks due to the virus. And yeah it's for a 328 I'm not trying to make a replica m3 or anything tho just thought this looked like a clean option for the price

I got one from eBay. Fit great. I really wanted the msport but this was like $200 cheaper. I actually shaved the headlight washers because I don't have them. Looks a lot cleaner imo.

It has been discussed and speculated that they are all made in one Asian factory. Regardless of the seller, vendors or eBay. Which makes sense considering the market isn't big enough for multiple manufacturers.

You got the a m3 replica? And yeah that would make sense since I see a lot of identical bumpers for sale from different vendors on eBay. Did you get yours installed professionally? And if so what did it cost.

Yes m3 rep. I did the install. I'd say it was 9/10 fitment. I used my heat gun just a touch on the driver side (if I remember which side correctly) in front of the headlight, just to adjust it a bit. Had I not shaved the washers that's all I'd have done. I hit it really good with a scotch bright pad, to prep for paint. My wife's uncle shot it for me so paint was just a gift card.

Awesome now I'm excited to get it delivered. I work at a wrap shop so I'll be wrapping it myself along with the rest of the car. Which should save a lot of money over getting it painted. I would install myself but it seems like a pain without taking the front wheels off

[Vulcan50]

I did my initial install on the ground, wheels on. There's a stupid amount of screws. But not hard

I had a 1m bumper on my 328. Don't see what you're trying to say with that last statement. It's really difficult to get any kind of engine performance from the 328, so you might as well make it look nice.

I believe that putting an M bumper or logo makes you look like a poser.

2nd m3 style bumper on my 2nd 335i and both of them were perfect fit. I paid about 270 this seams a bit more also.

I have one with fog lights, do you have them? I ask because otherwise pricing is pretty consistent. Just curious

Yes I had fog lights, but I did a delete.

Then I'd say YOU got the steal!

[Vulcan50]

ECS has a few scratch and dent bumpers, for anyone interested

[happyshifts]

I was able to get mine for $200 picked up brand new. It had no fog lights and the air ducts instead but they had the one with fog lights for the same price too. Fitment is perfect. If you were local, I would give you their info.

[Yam_440i]

Can someone tell me what they did with their brake ducts?? Did you cut your current one or buy m3 ones?

I have an SE but would like to know the extent of cutting etc involved?

I took mine off & cut them down with a dremmel. They still work as intended
