diesel front bumper variation
my girlfriend has a 2011 335d (us spec). she hit something on the freeway. the lower part of the bumper took a pretty good hit and blew out a lower fog light grill (the tabs are all blown out). other than that, it doesn't look like there is anything else really wrong.
i'm finding a few bumpers on ECS tuning's site, but nothing concrete on how complete they are. if i need to buy new undertrays and wheel liners, i'm not going to bother. i'm just not sure how many variations the diesels have. anyone deal with this that can share some insight? i have only seen two- regular and Msport for the diesel. -2011 (LCI) -has headlight washers -no front pdc -not an Msport

ok, that doesn't quite help someone that doesn't know what they are getting into and they pickup a bumper and get a quote for paint at three times the cost you said. $150 from a friend is different than saying it cost $150.

Thanks for all the help in this thread. I was lucky enough to get an msport bumper for my wife's diesel. Original bumper got hit with some tire tread.
Painted reflectors and black kidneys fit the same. Oh, and the dog helped.

Roastbeef, you're scaring the hell out of me. You are underneath car with it supported by 2 hydraulic jacks. We are always taught to have the car on jack stands, right? I have nice stands from Reverse Logic that fit perfectly up into the the jack points. I just jack up under the central jack point under the engine and then place the stands under the front/side jack points where your hydraulic jacks are. i got a long low profile jack to get under that central point in one shot too.
I also have an msport with a bit of a beat up front bumper. Thinking of going to the same M3 replica that 32 valves mentions. I will go without fog lights to open up the front duct work. Plan is to use real M3 ducts too (some cutting required) as they are bigger than the M3 rep ones included with the rep bumper. I see that you have a kabillion posts here so you're a quite knowledgeable person. |

There were blocks behind the floor jacks.
I know m3's... so I'm somewhat familiar with this body, but I'm not a diesel guy. Bumper comes off the same- just as fun. I'm keeping it oem. I do need to replace the drivers side brake ducting... got ripped off when the tire blew through there. Surprisingly, the m3 doesn't have any brake ducts. The drivers side goes to the intake, and the other side goes to the transmission cooler. Zero brake ducting, unlike these cars.
