    after a long absence, the E39 PP are in stock and so are the ABS.

    Also, have PP bumpers with washer cut outs if you have a cold climate car...

    I've been reading into the replacement process in depth. Can you, as a 1st party, tell me what the differences between your product and the OEM ABS bumpers are?
    I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on a front and rear set soon. Thanks

    There is not a huge difference other than the lack of logos. ABS bumpers even have the same mold markings on their back just like the OE bumpers.
    for PP, yes, we've had some issues, but ABS, pretty rock solid. As good as OEM for usually 1/2-2/3rd the price.

    What about the fitment issues? The bumper cover doesn't typically align perfectly with the fender line. Can you provide commentary about that?

    The PP doesn't align well, but the ABS does. it's a different type of bumper so has better fit overall (as well as feeling more substantial when compared side by side).

    Does it align as well as the BMW OEM part? And what are the pros and cons of the ABS product? For example, is it more or less prone to cracking, etc., than the OEMs?

    ABS is more rigid, paints better, generally a better fit.
    PP is more soft and in colder climates doesn't crack as easily.

    OE are pretty prone to cracking, no different than the ABS in our experience. PP is not as common but it's usually short.

    It matches with the fender liner on the front but we recommend if you are doing this to be as OE as possible you should get the M5 fender liner and "pork chops" otherwise it will still work.

    $250 for most paints - like Jet Black, Alpine White, TiSilver.
    For some more custom paints we'll usually ask a little more...by custom we mean Seafoam Green or similar non-typical ons.

    BSM - that shouldn't be a problem, same price as the others. It's a more common color, though very uncommon for E39s, it's very common on E60s and E9X and we ship a bunch of those pre-painted.

    Got a bit of a delay - painter was in the hospital, we're back up to full operation now.

    Ordered mine in Sterling Grey - didn't send anything to paint match because I live without fear.

    Match came out really well, I have no issues with it, although I am also not a concours judge, so other, pickier people may have a different perspective. There were a couple of small blemishes on the face of the bumper, but I didn't notice them until I was like 2-3 inches away and I'm pretty confident the first summer detail will most likely take care of them.

    Also, the rub strips were unpainted. I prefer the unpainted look, but if you want body color ones, probably should ask about that first.

    No pictures because first post, but imagine a grey touring with an M5 bumper and there you go.

    Thanks for the feedback! We have a few more in people's hands so hopefully soon we'll have some actual folks on here posting pics.

    Sterling Grey is one of the harder colors to match.

    I'm just a little confused - I saw this on fb this is the PP - standard non-ABS is this the less expensive version or more expensive version?

    PP is less expensive and softer and more resilient to hits, ABS is better fitting and works with paint better.

    Just placed my order for a rear ABS M tech bumper last night in Black Sapphire Metallic, excited to replace my faded OEM non sport bumper. Need to find better aftermarket exhaust solution though.

    got it! you got in on the one of the last few we have of the rears.
    good news, site was live last night, bad news, it's down right now for those interested, please wait 1 hour and you'll be able to order once again.
    WE found an error and it's a looped error so we have to fix it before it causes more issues.

    guess I'm lucky, will the body trim mouldings be painted body color or do I need to request that separately?

    Here's my experience with the PP bumper. Fit quite well, very slight gap. If I did it again I would go with the ABS though.
