Help me decide - M3 Rep or Not??
So I have not seen one of these in person. I want to redo my front end but I would like to either see one in person or have someone with a good camera take some pictures in which you can clearly see into the middle lower grill. I want to see how it all lines up with the factory vents, radiator shroud, etc. to make sure its a good fit and look.
I would appreciate any help from owners!! Thanks! |

I saw one in person and loved it, even with the fogs I thought it looked good.
If I did it I would retro fit the ducts to fit and delete the fogs. This guy just added a lip and I think it looks amazing. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=678580 If I did the M3 front the lip would be a must |

Ya - it looks incredible but I have never seen a picture that lets me see through the lower center grill. I want to make sure the shrouding and stuff isn't awkward looking. I also want to find one locally so I dont have to pay 120 in shipping lol.
Where is the best place to buy it? I am sure there are a few different factories making it so who has the nicest!! |

Msport is really nice but I don't want to spend 1000$ on a bumper and all the accessories (vents, etc.)
Lol I love the people who come on here "you don't drive an m3 don't get that". Who gives a shit. Its a better looking bumper than stock. Its 1/2 the price of the msport. I would rather have the 600$ in my pocket and rock the rep than buy the mpsort. Seriously - who cares if it's not or is an m3. Its a car. Are you one of the people that complains when the dealer puts you in a loaner that isn't a bmw? So back on topic - the link that blindside posted was exactly what i was looking for. If anyone else has close up or detailed shots that show THROUGH the mesh I would greatly appreciate it. |

Doesn't matter if its not a M3.
As long as you're not putting on M badges nothing wrong with this bumper Factory ducts do need to be trimmed to fit the bumper. Or u can get the M3 ducts and do the fog delete. |

With your logic, "who cares if it's not or is an m3", you might as well slap on an M badge, it's just a car right? Who cares? |

1) Check OP - it asked for pictures of something specific and not opinions as I really don't care what other people think. I want to see a specific picture so I can decide for myself since I have not been able to see it in person. I could care less what someone else thinks looks good - I want what I think looks good. For that reason I just wanted pictures and not opinions 2) Why would I slap an M badge on it. I already expressed I am putting on a bumper because it looks nicer and not because it represents an M. I don't want an M3. If I did I would have bought it. I have owned all turbo vehicles and will always go that route. So saying "you might as well slap an M badge on" makes no sense since we already established my motives were NOT to attempt to look like an M - but to simply improve upon the aesthetic appearance. If I got upset I wouldn't have laughed at your attempt to share your opinion where it was not requested. I would have bitched at you - but its the internet where I simply laugh at those type of responses. Now that we have cleared that up any more pics that will show what I am talking about would be great. A friend of mine just told me he has a container coming with msport reps so I may actually get to go that route after all. Now it all comes down to which i think will look better as they are not OEM. |

Lol, I appreciate you caring so much to make a reply long enough I don't want to read it. Bravo. If you can afford an m3, dont want one, but want to make the front look like one, then great, dont bitch that msport is expensive. |

Ignore the guy. Trolls will troll.
The material is the same as factory. Check back with me in like 2 weeks and I'll get pics and info. PM me if you want some details and I'll get you in touch with the vendor. He is a sponsor on here but he likes to wait till stock is in his hands before starting to advertise and sell them so customers arent stuck waiting. |
