Looking for m3 style bumper

Needs to be able to fit model 2011 335i e90 paint code is A42 but color isn't important at the moment. Also looking for some advise on modding all advise is helpful. Looking for a tuner, intake, as well as a exhaust system.

My best advice is search.

And I don't mean it rudely, like I know the answer but won't give it to you.

It's just that there are so many options and vendors, you'll be better off looking for everyone of them and deciding which one better fits your needs (based on taste for looks and sound; all too varied, on your location, budget etc.)

Cheers!

I have been for a couple months now, I've read about and looked at many options. I just want to hear peoples input on how they did their car and how they like it. Rather than the trial and error approach with it lol

Oh cool that makes sense. The universe of responses will be a lot more limited, but I think you'll narrow your options down to a few that were already tried anyway right.

Best of luck!
Cheers

I bought an M3 style bumper off eBay. It fit just fine and looks great. If you go that route be sure to find a bumper that fits your cars options like PDC and/or headlight washers.

Don't all the bumpers essentially come from the same place in Taiwan?

I went with JGMods and had a great experience.

Did they paint it also? Or did you do that separate with a private painter, if so what would be the range i should be paying for it? I've read anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand but no really constant answer. But i know you get what you pay for when it comes to that kind of stuff.

I had to have my front and rear bumpers replaced so I had the bumpers I ordered sent to the shop, unpainted. I think the total after painting & installation was around $900. Maybe less. I don't remember off the top of my head. So maybe it was around $400-500 per bumper?

You want to get it painted locally and have it blended.

Also search... This topic has been beaten to death.

Pretty much any good feedback seller on eBay selling one made of PPU should suffice or buy from a vendor and help support the site.

Either way it will be about the same.
