Need Help With New Bumper!

kleinbje · 03-15-2006, 07:10 PM

A piece of rebar from a parking blook caught my lower lip and pulled out the top right corner. only 4k miles. Now that it is going to cost me 300 for a new bumper, I was thinking of going with a new design. Where is the best place to look at what is out there? Schnitzer is nice on the black Saphire, but where can I buy it? Is it plastic or fiberglass, does it matter? Can you get the M sport in the US? How much is it? Sorry , I searched like hell but info is few and far between. Thanks.

You can order/buy AC Schnitzer here.

try the boot lid ac spoiler, slightly more expensive. getting mine SG 320i painted and installed on sat. i think it is much more sporty than the m tech. m tech looks too discreet, boring and subtle for my liking.

Only 300 for a new bumper?

kleinbje · 03-15-2006, 11:38 PM

300 is for the part only, still needs to be painted and installed, that what really costs alot. That exactly why I figured I might change parts.

I wonder if the M-tech bumper fits our stock fender, or if it requires a different one.

Nope. Not even the same anything... Whole new grilles, mounting brackets, air ducting, etc. Once you're all said and done, it's almost worth buying the whole M-Aero kit ($1750 cdn - primed only), which I ended up doing.

I'll have the car back, hopefully, tomorrow. And I'll post some pics- so far, only the front bumper has been painted and installed.

Edit- It will fit the fender, but the mounts, and everything that goes with it need be replaced. And, yes, it's available in North America - if you can't find one in the US, tell your dealership to look in Ontario. That's where I had mine shipped from. Good luck

Be sure to post pics. I have the same color. Look forward to seeing it. How much do the grills and ducts cost?

I just realized that the ACS just glues onto a regular bumper, are there any othe complete bumper options. Or would I need to replace the stock bumper and then add acs or Hamann
