Rear bumper replacement

Hi guys,

The previous owner of my car backed into something and caused some small imperfections on the bumper... (spider cracked paint) (indentations) (top corner of the bumper where it meets the light is slightly sticking out).

It isn't much of an issue but once you get close and see it, it's there lol.

I've dealt with it since owning the car and looking to get it fixed now.

Got quotes at my my local body shop and they said $360 if I bring them a bumper and they'll paint and install. Also was told the price for a new OEM BMW bumper ($699). (Too much)

Since I am spending this much money, I figure I'll order an M-Tech Rear bumper and bring it to the body shop for paint and installation ($360).

Found one on Ebay for $427.50 shipped to me.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E90-MTE...8/263841847811

Anyone bought a bumper off Ebay? Experience?

I don't mind that it's not BMW OEM, as long as its good quality and good fitment.

Thanks

That should be fine. I think it’s the same bumper sold by a lot of the venders. I have an m3 replica front bumper I purchased on eBay and the firmest and quality was great. Nice and solid and lined up well.

I went ahead and ordered the M-Tech from EBay.

I'll have it painted and installed for $360.
