What happened to all the cheap M-tech/M-Sport reps ?

wahooooman · 12-14-2022, 09:22 AM

I picked up a low mileage 07 335 for a daily and Cant seem to find any reasonably priced M-tech front bumper for it.
All the places I find it they want double what i paid when i used to have a 335.

Any ideas ? lol

ECS?

Yeah I hear you, I need a rear for E91 pre lci and those are getting tough to find as well.

Bimmerworld has them 20% off right now.

Serf27 · 12-23-2022, 12:11 PM

No supply.
Bought my rear m sport for $500 a few years ago.

e9x platform is dying. Doesnt make sense for these aftermarket manufacturers to keep producing. Supply goes down, demand goes up, pirice goes up.

Igor_M5 · 01-05-2023, 09:17 AM

They come and go every few weeks, when they’re sold out the remaining inventory goes on boner alert, then a shipment arrives within a week or two and the prices adjust accordingly.

E9x platform isn’t dying, the E92/3 platform is.

I'm waiting patiently for a change in the pricing before buying an M Sport front bumper, I've bookmarked them and check on a regular basis.

michaelalex17 · 01-05-2023, 09:25 PM

Bookmarked where?

On my browser for future reference.

I can never find any LCI m sport front bumpers for cheap for the e90 which is what I need. I’ve seen a bunch of pre LCI and e92.

Considering they were about $500 a few years ago, this one isn’t bad. About as cheap as they’ll get.

Pre lci m sport was about $300 last year. 2x the price now.

michaelalex17 · 01-07-2023, 11:13 AM

This is really expensive. I remember seeing LCI m sport fronts for like $350 awhile back

Serf27 · 01-07-2023, 12:21 PM

They’re not gonna be that cheap anymore.

I bought an E46 MTechII front bumper from Umnitza years ago, I opted to have them paint it and it came out alright. I had a shop install it and they had to work hard to make it fit. This time, I'll likely have it painted locally and install it myself. Here are the links to the front bumper.

If you think front bumpers are high, price out an M-sport rear bumper. Kills me they are 500 bucks and a base is 120.

Serf27 · 01-24-2023, 11:43 PM

$500 E90 m sport is a good price.

Jaronbwall · 02-07-2023, 01:01 PM

Good lord. I like how "these are cheap!"... confirmed not cheap. I remember the $350 bumper days. Sorta wish I upgraded mine, but mostly glad I didn't. Fitment is s**t for most of eBay stuff. Everyone needs a paint shop to adjust new bumpers. I'm good.

Serf27 · 02-07-2023, 02:34 PM

They are cheap compared to what they were a few years ago.
You couldn’t find any during Covid and if you did, they were $1k+ for either front or rear.

I looked at the m sport rear on eBay, maybe 5 years ago. It was $500 for a few years, I bought one and it stayed at $500 until a couple of years ago.
Fitment is great.
