Confusion on vendor to purchase from.. (Front Bumper)

Hey guys I'm in the market to update a few items on my 08 e92. First and foremost yes I've searched and I have found alot of conflicting info.

I'm looking for an M3 style front bumper. There is a huge price range difference when searching around. Anywhere from $269 all the way up to over $600 for the bumper cover. Alot of horror stories of bad fitment so forth and so on. Can anyone make a recommendation on vendors to buy from in regards to price, fitment and completeness?

Thanks!

What do their kits include? All necessary grills and ducts?

Let me know if you have any specific questions or concerns I can help you out with. Not all m3 style front bumpers are made equal, make sure you know the difference between a quality part vs "too good to be true" ones.

The grill was separate, I just used my stock ones. The bumper came with the ducts and fog lights.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I purchased an M3 style bumper from Selma Auto Restyling. From everything I have read all the reviews have been positive. Got it for $340 shipped. I will report back after I do a test fit when it arrives.

Buy from a forum vendor (like TunerStock, JGMods, SpeedElement, etc.): (1) the vendors make this forum possible, (2) they can usually provide references of other forum members who have bought products, (3) you have recourse if there is a problem. IMO, its worth paying a little extra to support a forum vendor instead of buying from ebay.

Go to the exterior forum and search for M3 bumper reviews.
