My shop is complaining that i wanted to go with an aftermarket bumper besides an oem one for the repair and they keep trying to tell that potentially so many other thing may need to be replaced. If they keep feeding me the BS i'm just going to take my business to another shop or install it myself after they paint it.
Don't listen to their BS, they mostly just don't want to get into any trouble.. going with OEM is the safest for them.
As for the bumper, I think with 328i, there is no need to remove air duct, you can just trim it.
