    E36 325i | How to close this M-TECH M3 front bumper gap?

    Hi all,

    Is there any way I can adjust the front bumper? I think I have a huge gap. It's all original.

    Track car would look nicer when this is aligned properly.

    See photos.

    Photo 1: horrible gap.
    Photo 2: looks allright-ish
    Photo 3: gap
    Photo 4: from the inside out. Gap.
    Photo 5: right side inside out gap

    Thanks guys, very curious.

    I think I managed to fix it the most I could.

    I bent the mounting brackets for the bumper on the sides.

    Bent? There is a piece on the side with 2 screws where the bumper slides into that can be adjusted.

    Okay? But how? It's screwed in.

    I slightly (1cm) bent the metal plate where this slider is connected to. And now it's much better but not perfect yet.

    Undo these bolts a little, then the piece can be adjusted upwards.
