    M3 Front Bumper @ $180 on eBay, but what about quality?

    Anyone know anything about the quality of this M bumper? The price is really competitive... at $180. Pros, cons?

    it is probably fiberglass, and for that price, just a little bit more can get you an OEM one which will save you a lot of trouble and hassle.

    Its fiberglass so it won't be as durable and won't have any bumper strips. If I were you I would just buy oem because you will end up paying just as much to install that bumper on your car.

    One word describe that bumper.... CHEAP!!!!!! Just go buy the real bumper and stop messing around with wanntbe M3 bumper. Only aftermarket worth spending on is Reiger body kit.

    Save your money until you have the funds to get the OEM. Check Ebay, this forum, DTM, etc.. You should find them pretty cheap

    Just purchased the oem m3 bumper (new) from ebay. 399+65 SHPG. It's the whole thing with trim, moldings, air ducting, and mounting hardware.

    Don't go with fiberglass. Please no. It might seem like a good deal now, but when you hit something and it cracks left and right, you'll be kicking yourself later....

    Ask me how I know....and ask why i keep kicking myself :

    I can't find a reasonably priced complete M3 bumper for the life of me - never mind even trying to find one in Avus Blue so I don't have to paint it - and I've checked Bimmerforums, Bimmerfest, Roadfly, DTMpower, Turner Motorsport Classifieds, and eBay. :
