New front bumper

So, this weekend a guy backs into my car with his tow hitch and puts a dent into my front bumper. I noticed it Saturday morning, I assume it happened Thursday night or possibly Friday at some point in a parking lot...

I now either have to repair the bumper or replace it. I was considering replacing it with an M-tech style front bumper but I have a ton of questions. Since I drive an E92 it doesn't look like I can get it from BMW so I guess there is the one from J-Levi but I guess it doesn't have the little knock-out for the tow hook? Also I don't know if it fits well and what other stuff I would have to buy to make it work (mesh, ducting modifications?).

Maybe I should just get it what, bondo'ed and painted? grrr this pisses me off either way

Zeph, this may be the perfect opportunity for you to upgrade the look of your vehichle dramatically. We currently do have an alternative solution for you. We just got the full M3 style kit replacement (front bumper, side skirts, hood, and rear bumper) for your car. This would cost about the same price you would pay for just a mtech front bumper. You can check it out under the Sponsors Classified section to find out more information.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

The M-Tech style bumper we have for the E92 currently does work but it has a few flaws that you need to be aware of. There is no tow hook cover, the driver's side fender does not line up 100% and the grill set needs to be glued in. For the price, it is worth it but you have to go into it with those expectations.

We will also have a full M3 style kit for the E92 available later this month.

Is there an actual OEM M-tech front bumper from Germany that is made for the E92? I believe I was told it isn't DOT approved since no reflector and I was curious how much it costs and how I would go about getting one... hard to find E92 Mtech stuff but I like the bumper how it "angles out" better than the M3 one that is more square around the FMIC hole
