Anyone with experience know what brand or seller has the highest quality/ best fit these days?

Trying to avoid the heat guns, shaping, and shaving I had to deal with on my motorcycle for a good fit.

Any suggestions?

Would love to know as well. The least expensive options I'm seeing are all 500+ unpainted.

If you want it to fit you gotta pay the price.

I think the OEM one is like $750 from ECS? That is what is on my car. Fits perfect like it should.

Link?
I’m looking for one and I REMEMBER them being $499 shipped, can’t find anything for less than $700 now.
As long as it’s plastic, it will fit fine.
My $500 rear bumper from eBay fits like oem.

Yeah you're right they are in that range I was lowballing it. I'm still holding out hope I'll be able to find a used Monaco blue m sport bumper for sale but that's probably never going to happen ha

Curious, what would a used OEM be worth? Might get a euro bumper in future to delete the reflectors and it would make the project much more bearable if the original is worth some decent cash.

A member here gathered a few other members to do a bulk order from a manufacturer a couple years ago. The cost of them was about $250 a piece. Wonder what happened to that.

I'd 100% be in on that, do you have the thread or know the manufacturer ?

If it's a used m tech I'll take it off you're hands.

No. I have to look through my PMs to see if I still have our messages.
I was ready to buy a few e91 rear m sport bumpers at that price!
I’m sure you could find a manufacturer on alibaba. You’d just need enough people to get the prices down.

Does the m tech e90 rear bumper fit an e91, if so this looks like it might come with front, side, and rear but it's not clear lol

E90 rear bumper does not fit E91.

Also, don't forget that you will need a new/different bumper holder brackets for the E91 rear to fit M Sport bumper.

No it does not.
Those side skirts look a bit like m3 side skirts.
That’s not a bad price tho! If shipping isn’t double the cost of it.

The e91 needs different brackets for m sport rear bumper?
My e90 did not.

The front bumper is the same though right?

On an m sport e91 are the side skirts different than a standard model?

Front is same but inner fender liners and engine bottom cover are not. Same with the rear. M Tech require different inner fender liners. Side skirts are different too but only for pre LCI.

[Serf27]

I think you can get away with stock front fender liners if you just drill new holes in the liners to Aline with the bumper screw holes.

I have actually been in contact with an Alibaba seller for the last little bit, negotiated the kit price down to $750 USD. The issue I have encountered is that this seller (like many other Alibaba sellers) does not offer shipping to North America, and they would like me to arrange the shipping with a shipping forwarder. Haven't done this before so I have been doing some research but so far all of the companies I have come across have seemed kinda off.

Has anyone here arranged large shipments from China before and have a forwarder that has done good work that they can recommend?

[Serf27]

A friend ordered some e90 m3 bumpers from there once.
He found a company in the Midwest that took care of all paper work for customs. I’m not sure if they handled the shipping as well, but he did have to go to the docking port to pick them up.
