Anybody know how to self install a front bumper? Or know someone that can do it flawless?
update: Prices's wants to charge me $879 for bumper(which they won't buy from tischer), body labor, paint supplies, paint labor. But there is guy on the forum that is selling my same exact bumper for $150, but is whining that to ship it will cost as much as the bumper. Until i convince this guy any of yall locally have one lying around let me know- e90 sedan fitment |

Installing a bumper isn't that hard on any car. Just take your time and don't force it. There are a few DIY's floating around here in case you need it. The front bumper has a ton of bolts to it.

I do have my Stock E90 TiAg bumper, but need it for if I ever go back to
stock or have an unfortunate event due to someone else.

I wish I could, I need it though, for if anything like well what happened to you
happens to me. Sorry. You would probably want it repainted anyways.(If OCD) It has a rock chip here or there, but that it normal on any car really. I am also not sure how long I will have the car. I will probably be returning it to stock if I ever sell it. The dad does not want me keeping it very long either, but I plan on keeping it for a long time. Why won't they buy it from tischer or give you check for it?

Boro, installing a front bumper is not hard at all. Definitely buy from someone and install it yourself. Trust me, its not worth it to pay someone else to do it- especially what Price's is charging. Like Dark said, read up on the DIYs on here and you're good to go. I used to install angel eyes by taking off the bumper before I got my jack. No big deal.

When checking my oil level through iDrive does anyone know how much each bar represents. I'm down a bar and still have 3k miles before my oil change is due. I don't like driving the car with any oil burnt off much less for 3k more miles.

Now that's quick. You have power tools? I do all mine by hand, which definitely makes it take much longer.

I have some oil you can have. Will discount it 2.
Have 2 or 3 quarts I think? I have an oil change due in a few hundred miles anyways bought it from the dealer. Probably 10$ would work. Actually you can just have it. EDIT: Just looked and only have 1 quart left, but its yours

unscrew wheel well. Its really easy. You have to take off a few bolts under the front bumper as well.
