If the former, I'd consider driving to SoCal to get it done but I also need new LCI type headlights installed at the same time as well. My local shop will do it but they gave me static about the aftermarket bumper cover because (based on their experience) they always require additional fitting. However, they agreed to install one for me as long as I was willing to pay for any additional shop time required to make it fit.

The concern from my end is finding a reliable supplier that will provide the proper M3 type bumper cover for my 335i. Just seems like a crap shoot buying it blind on eBay or whereever without being able to inspect it first to insure a proper fit.

No I bought the bumper and had a shop paint it he would of painted it to match for I think $150 more. My car got hit on the front passenger fender and door. My front m tech bumper started peeling paint and was pretty scraped up on the bottom from previous owner so i decided to do the bumper and have them blend everything at once the shop I went to he had a 335 out front so I was able to see the fitment right there. Guy was pretty straight forward to me and let me know everything including the fog lights were really for an e60 but fit the m3 rep perfect
