Question Bavarian Autosport Bumper Quality/Fitment?

Does anyone have any experience with Bavarian Autosports (BavAuto) bumpers? I have a 2007 335i e90 Sedan and am looking at their "M3 Style Front Spoiler - Fog Lights Included" bumper which is currently on sale.


Anyone have this who can shed some light on the quality and fitment? I'm so afraid that its going to look cheap once I get it installed.

Any help/guidance/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like the same bumper we carry (which is excellent quality) for more. We can have you pick one up in Southern California to save on shipping, drop me a PM and I can help.

Here is an idea of what it is like installed:

ANYBODY HAVE THIS BUMPER FROM EITHER Jlevi or BavAuto?? I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT FITMENT. IT HAS TO BE PERFECT, OR I'M JUST NOT INTERESTED (I absolutely hate when it doesn't fit perfectly... it just looks so damn cheap). I thought I saw some posts that the fitment was a bit off.

Nick, do you have any links to more installed photos?

if fitment is the deal breaker, your best bet is oem or bust.

I don't mind reps or the very minute imperfections but seems you might. They're reps for a reason although very good quality.

fitment is very good and near OEM with 5-10 mins of adjustment, you will have to do some trimming if its being fitted on a 335

This thread has plenty of pics to show the fit and finish. It is one of the best aftermarket bumpers I have seen in 7 years of looking at aftermarket BMW products.

I personally installed one on my car, after trimming some of the duct work it fit perfectly. Hands down the best mod I've done on my car.

I bought the bumper from ddmtuning.com out of San Diego, but as far as I can tell all of these places are selling the same bumper cover. That being said ddmtuning gave me a fair price and the piece was excellent quality.

I can tell by looking at the pics fitment isn't 100%. Personally I wouldn't do it, go w/OEM.
