Getting new front bumper

wren57 · 01-19-2012, 06:14 PM

Front end got slightly dented in parking lot right between the grilles. My car was parked. Her insurance company is getting me a new bumper. Currently have M-tech (07). What route should I take? The m-tech bumper has a MSRP of $1,239.07. I figure I can get something rather nice out of that...

do u have an e90? if so, get the lci mtech bumper. if u have an e92, just stick with the pre-lci mtech bumper.

e90

If I get lci I will probably go msport over mtech, but then I'll have to get the lci hood to make it look right. That's the hard part...

msport = mtech

no?

wren57 · 01-19-2012, 07:22 PM

Either way, still gotta get the hood...

you could just trim the lci kidney grills on the bumper to fit the pre lci grills on the hood. i mean its not as clean but not that noticeable

If you have Pre-LCI, I would do M3 bumper + V-CSL lip
