recommendations for e90 front bumper...

Silver&Terra335 · 04-04-2011, 09:00 PM

Looking for some recommendations...

I'm considering an upgrade for my front end bumper along with a rear diffuser. Any recommendations? I've seen the following products with a few retailers but I don't have any firsthand knowledge...

M-tech front bumper
M aero kit bumper
E90 M3 Replica Front Bumper (**********s and Bav Auto carry this)

Any thoughts/comments/recommendations would be appreciated...

I have been contemplating myself on which bumper to go with. I've narrowed it down to the Performance front, or the M-Tech..I like that the Performance was like $300 less than M-Tech, but I will always think that an M-Tech with a lip is the hottest thing an e90 can have.

wuchao1 · 04-04-2011, 10:04 PM

The Mtech front bumpers are only about 50 dollars more than the performance bumper at Tischer.
I was wondering about which bumper to go for... Decided to go with the Performance bumpers. Should get here tomorrow and should have it done on car next week. Cant Wait!!

Silver&Terra335 · 04-04-2011, 10:15 PM

do you have a source/link for either of these options?
thanks!

-M-Tech

-Performance.

$50? Am I missing something? If that was the case I would have definitely decided on M-Tech.

wuchao1 · 04-04-2011, 10:25 PM

Is urs e90 or e92?

Oops! I didn't realize it was for the 335.

wuchao1 · 04-04-2011, 10:41 PM

will for 335 the mtech is still cheaper I think..??
Anyway I was actually really surprise when I see the price for mtech... But still decided to go with PB... going to order the performance rear and sides next month!

The E90 M3 style body parts are made out of Polypropylene, a very durable and ridged material that is used to make the factory body pieces. This ensure your new M3 style body parts are OEM quality and will not crack or deform. The bumper does come with all necessary hardware including the lower mesh and fog lights. However, if you don't like the look of the fogs, you can simply do a fog delete on them. Here are a few more pictures of the E90 M3 style front bumper with and without fog lights for you guys to check out!

A///MG_Power · 06-08-2011, 02:51 AM

Two questions:

1) When fog delete is applied to the M3 replica front bumper, is there anything in it's place? (such as a duct of some kind, or is it just left blank?)

2) How do I go about installing an M3 replica front bumper with Cold Weather Package (with headlight washers)?

Thanks!

ModBargains.com · 06-08-2011, 11:30 PM

1) You can most definitely delete the fogs if that's the look you're trying to achieve. There is no duct of any kind and the holes would simply be left blank as described
2) The E90 M3 style front bumper does not come with headlight washers and it will not work properly without some modification from a body shop

E92M3Guy · 06-10-2011, 01:07 AM

I seen ones floating around with the headlight washers on them. It is definitely out there and the material is made of poly as well. If I can remember which company had it, I will link it.

I am assuming with this you don't get the bumper in the color of your car and will have to pay to get it painted. Also does this include everything? Bumper supports, lower grills and fogs?

If you do go with the M3 rep, Iconic Tuning sells it cheaper than any other vendor here.

rallyegolf · 06-10-2011, 11:50 AM

I actually like the look of the M-Tech better then the M3. I think the OE bumper and lip look better then the M3 also.
