oem m3 rear bumper on e92 335i

I know that the OEM m3 front bumper will NOT fit the 335i without some fabrication but will the OEM rear bumper fit the 335i? or is the rear a bit wider as well? I know the exhaust placement is different but just wondering if the bumper will bolt on. Let me know.

The rear flares out too wide to be completely bolt on.

You will need to cut or bend in the sides to accommodate the wider width. For the front bumper, we now offer a direct replacement M3 style front bumper for the non-M3 E92s. These are narrower than the standard M3 bumper so it's a direct fit for your car.

Also, the lip that goes around the front and rear fenders of the M3, is 1.6", and the lip around a regular 335 is 1.8" so that will take MAJOR fabrication to make the bumpers line up with those lines

Have you considered the Mtech rear bumper with the VRS diffuser? That would look really nice on your e92....and would fit perfectly without any modifications.

i woudlnt even attempt it knowing this!
we all know the M flares out more which can be dealth with and modified, but this lip would be VERY tough to make look right Id say.
it would probably be easier to weld on M3 rear quarter panels so the bumper will fit!

Its a bit dark, i apologize for the quality. But this is an OEM M3 Front on a Non M E92.

It can be done by a compitent body shop. Im contemplating doing an OEM M3 Rear conversion on my car. I may do it this summer.

Really interested in the M3 Rear Bumper...
I think it would look sick on my Jet Black 335i.
Vorsteiner Type II Diffuser is definitely hot but I decided not to blend my Jet Black with Carbon Fiber, looks dull to me!

Any direct fit M3 Rear Bumper for non-M E92?!

Check this out guys, good news!

http://www.**********s.com/M3_Body_Kit.htm

However, we want reviews about fitment, and of course, pics!!

Product Detail

Take your stock 328i or 335i and transform its appearance from bland to aggressive with the addition of a full M3 Style Body Kit. The kit includes; front M3 style bumper, M3 style hood, M3 rocker panels (side skirts) and the M3 style rear bumper. More importantly the full M3 Style Body Kit does not require you to change your existing fenders to accommodate the M3 style bumpers. The kit is constructed from Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) (except the hood) which offers strong properties, while being extremely lightweight and durable. The kit fits and E92 or E93 328i or 335i and flawless fitment is guaranteed.

*Please note the M3 Style Body kit does require the M3 rear muffler (or aftermarket M3 muffler) to achieve the proper look. If you need help sourcing one of these contact a sales representative and we can assist you.

[IMG]http://www.**********s.com/images/Products/MISC/10122008626L.jpg[/IMG]

Construction

The M3 style hood included in the kit is constructed from thick plastic, exactly like the OEM M3 hood, making it very lightweight. The bumpers and rocker panels are made from Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) which offers great tensile strength, humidity resistance, and excellent temperature depended variation.

The strength properties of FRP is collectively make up one of the primary reasons for which body kit manufacturers select them in the design of body kit components. A material's strength is governed by its ability to sustain a load without excessive deformation or failure. When an FRP specimen is tested in axial tension, the applied force per unit cross-sectional area (stress) is proportional to the ratio of change in a specimen's length to its original length (strain). When the applied load is removed, FRP returns to its original shape or length. In other words, FRP responds linear-elastically to axial stress.


Applications


* E92/E93 328i/335i (Coupe/Convertible)

Rear bumper:

Don't buy it, fiberglass is cheap and will look like crap after normal road wear.

i don't like all this m3 stuff on non-m cars... maybe one or two parts (like just the sideskirts or the side mirrors), but not like Kriston or all these other m3 full body kits.. If you want an m3, buy one, don't pretend you have one

Ps- kriston your car looks good, but way too wanabe m3 for me (this is coming from a guy who had a m3 front bumper on his car)... you don't even have a 335 so you have absolutely zero pep to back up your aggressive body..
