Hi everyone,
I need front and rear bumper covers what would you recommend?

I need a right side head light, it's an xenon type light and is still working even though it's melted. What are my options?

I need a rear light.

I also need a light that goes on the right side fender, as well as fog lights!

Thx, in advance
David

Ouch, what happened? Was there a fire that the car was next to?

I'd say hit the marketplace to see if anyone has replacement parts up for sale. Look up part numbers on getbmwparts.com or realoem.com and list out the specifics of what you need so people will be more likely to respond.

Good luck!

Yeah, it was parked next to a building that burnt.

DavidPayne · 04-08-2016, 08:49 PM

Since both lights are working can I get nicer aftermarket casings and just pop the xenon bulbs in?
Or would it be better to find an used OEM xenon light that is the same as the left one? I have 1 available at a scrap yard for 525$

Would this work with my xenon bulbs and ballasts :

If i can get regular front bumper cover for 150$ is it worth to get an M3 bumper for 560$(fog lights and grille included).

I can also get a regular rear bumper for 275$ or an M3 for 560$.

All prices I've mentioned are Canadian shipping included.
Thx

Get an OEM headlight housing. Aftermarket ones aren't compatible with the xenon components.

Shouldn't insurance be covering this? Why are you trying to fix it yourself?

DavidPayne · 04-09-2016, 08:54 AM

Thx VTECaddict,
It is a salvage vehicule that I will be repairing myself. Thx for the info on the head light.

Also, those M3 bumpers sound way too expensive if they're not OEM. And if they're OEM you will need more parts to make them fit.

El Cheapo Loco · 04-11-2016, 01:02 PM

Check this guy out. Under $600 for both front and rear. He's been in business for quite some time and sells kits for all kinds of euro cars.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-3Series-...-/172152231755

And I agree on OEM headlights. Aftermarket headlights just don't perform as well.

DavidPayne · 04-11-2016, 10:34 PM

Thx VTECaddict and El Cheapo,
But 570$US comes to 740$CAD plus shipping and all would me more expensive than the prices I've quoted...they do not ship to Canada anyway.

VTECaddict where can I get an OEM headlight housing?

-What is a headlight housing? just the plastic and glass? without the inards? I
haven`t found those.

Thx

DavidPayne · 04-11-2016, 11:10 PM

Check eBay for used housings. The housing is the headlight without any bulbs or electronics. If all the parts are still fine from the damaged one, you should be able to swap it over to a replacement housing.

thx

DavidPayne · 04-21-2016, 10:45 AM

Has anyone tried these rolling gears tail lights?

DavidPayne · 05-05-2016, 10:15 AM

I bought the headlight from rockauto.com, they had the best price I could find.
