I bought this on ebay but this guy is telling me this is OEM

180857618421


From the look, it look like m3 replica bumper but this guy is telling me that this is oem made by BMW.. my question is.. in order for me to install this, do i have to do some modifications? IE cutting down air intake duct, getting different sized under tray cover etcetc?

This is a mtech bumper, not a m3 rep

No problem.
This is a refurbished oem bumper, thus fitment should be oem-like.

All you need should be the hardwares for completing the install
Quoting from getbmwparts.com
"OEM BMW E92/93 Front Mtech Bumper Kit. Kit includes: Front bumper, grills, fog lights, airducts, engine shield, and misc. parts required for installation. "

If this is an OEM m3 bumper it will not fit without major modification. The whole bumper is wider cause the m3 is wider.

Hopefully it is not an OEM bumper cause the cost from a bodyshop to make it work is not worth it. Would have been alot easier and cheaper just to get a m3 rep.

Good luck
