Hey All,

I bought a 2009 328i from Global Imports last November... And unfortunately my front bumper got scratched/dented pretty badly recently. Does anyone know what "Styles" of bumpers I can attach to me E90 LCI? I'm not sure how a Replica differs from an OEM, but I am wiling to pay more than 1k for the bumper and servicing.

And more importantly, does anyone know any shops around Decatur? I might just bring it back to Global Imports to fix.

Thanks!

A lot of the time, replica parts do not fit correctly. You have to make them fit. Thus, the final product will not be the same if an OEM part was used.

+1 I would look into the OEM msport bumper. You will be a lot happier if you did, because replica fitment could (probably) would be a waste of your money. getbmwparts.com has great prices (I was actually looking today myself). You could order it have it shipped here then painted locally.

Magnum Collision does the repairs for Global. My friend recently had his 330ci repaired by them. They are good and the cost will reflect that.

here is the product on getbmwparts for $955: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462

I'll be sure to hit up Magnum Collision.. Although it is an hour drive... but It will be worth it for a good job. Thanks!
