Default Bmw E36 3 Series M3 Style Front Bumper, Lip Grill

Looks reasonable. Anyone bought one?

Thoughts?

What is the primary different between a bumper 'cover' and an actual bumper? Hopefully, its not as literal as it sounds.And is it advisable to go in for one?


Thanks much for all the help in advance.

Fitiment can be an issue. I have one on my wife's 95 Alpine and it seems to be off a few mm vs stock, but I'm looking for mis-alignment. I don't really notice when it's parked or zooming by me when she just has to be first.

The free shipping might well be the key. I got mine semi locally and spent 20 on gas and tolls plus three hours out of my day picking it up. I paid 150 so to have it dropped at my door for $196 and not waste a day driving some where I didn't want to go is a big plus to me.

i have one on each of my current ti's. the second on the 95 base was ebay, $169 shipped, WITH foglights. the first one i bought over 5 yrs ago when i got my first 95 active.. that was about $125 shipped. the fitment is not bad at all, unless you are looking for concours or show car level. i'd say go for it, if that is the look you are going for. i like it.

oh, and yes bumper skin, or cover, fits right on the factory bumper support. do yourself a favor though and pick up some new "push pins" to hold it in place. the old factory ones either break, or the centers get lost.
