A coworker tapped the rear bumper on my car (even though he denies it), so now I must mend or replace the rear bumper on my 06 330i. The paint was damaged and the bumper slightly deformed. I need to try to keep the repair under 1,250 on the insurance end of things, so here is my question. My deductible is $250, and I'm not a huge fan of repairing parts. At two of the shops that I went to, repairing the bumper with paint, bodywork, etc. was estimated at around $1,000 give or take. Each shop, on the breakdown of price, was charging about $500 to repair the rear bumper. The ECS tuning bumper costs $540 and isn't on back order for the single exhaust outlet, so is it wise to go with this aftermarket bumper, or should I just get my original fixed? The OEM m tech is a little out of my range right now as I would be paying the difference on the new bumper. Does anyone have experience with the ECS tuning rep?

Just had a Hit-n-Run in my driveway a few days ago and I'm looking for an E92 rear M-Tech. Im interested to hear if the replica is any good

The ECS tuning rep is pretty good from what I've heard, was looking at them myself recently, I'd say go for it over the oem replacement

So many factors.

How picky you are about your car
Shops ability
Replication quality

I had a Mtech rep ECS front bumper fitted and while I don't think it's 100% perfect fitment everyone else tells me the work looks good.

YMMV

I have an 08 335i and bought the m tech rear from ecs and my shop said it was really good quality and fitment with no issues on the install. I think it looks really good and is of good quality also.

Just pay deductible and have reputable shop referred by your insurance do the rest. Its that easy don't overthink things.
