OEM m3 front bumper on non M e92

staplescenter · 07-31-2014, 12:08 AM

I have a 2008 e92 328i and thinking of getting an OEM e92 m3 front bumper. Has anyone done it and what kind of modifications are needed? I'm thinking the m3 bumpers are wider and it won't be a direct fit. Any pics?

You'll need a whole new OEM M3 hood, fenders and several other pieces as well. Would take thousands of dollars just in parts.

Thanks man. I found oem m3 bumper less than the rep but was worried about extra modifications. I will stick to the Rep ones.

How much was the OEM one cause the rep m3 ones are pretty cheap. They're like 350. In fact there are a few on ebay for $340 shipped.

I think this is the seller that I've seen most people on the forum buy from, you can even make an offer.

Thanks man! I saw that. I live 30 min from the seller and I'm sure I can even get it cheaper than the price especially it says make an offer. My biggest concern is the painting. The oem m3 bumper I was referring to was 500 bucks painted.

$500 painted doesn't sound too bad if you didn't have to swap so many parts. Let's say you buy the bumper for $350 and another $300 for a decent paint job (that's what I paid at least), you aren't too far off from the $500 for that OEM bumper.
