Anyone know where I can get a OEM or good aftermarket M-tech front bumper? I also need any other misc parts to complete the swap.
I'm ready to call Circle BMW or my local dealer, if I can't get any replies. __________________

Bimmerforums is not TI friendly. I put a deposit on the group buy. The kit doesn't come with the brake ducts. Will I still need to buy OEM ones, or can I use what I have? Quote: | Originally Posted by lkwd318ti | __________________

Good question...
I'm not sure if the brake ducts for the M bumpers and non-M bumpers are they same or not...
I guess check realOEM.com and compare part numbers?

TomatoM3Sedan: this is probably a stupid question, but while this is not a genuine OEM part, will it still replace an oem part, as in my OEM M3 bumper needs replaced, and this will fit up no problem? Are the holes etc all all in the same place vs, standard e36 compared to M3. Same coupe and sedan correct 96+ fitment right? I think I may grab one of these depending upon how my insurance rules... EEEEeeee36: These are identical to OE parts in form and function. They will fit any E36 (except Ti) from 91-99. I've had two M3 guys tell me that can't tell the difference between mine and the OE ones they took off their car, and that they loved it! (especially because they saved about $600). Let me know if you have any other questions. | | | | | 08-10-2006, 01:22 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I just contacted the seller of the group buy, here was his reply to the compatability issue: Quote: I'm sorry; I messed up. I just looked up the part numbers in the ETK, and
the bumpers are the same part. The M3 bumper should fit just fine. Both
part numbers in the ETK for a standard E36 bumper are 51 11 8 165 143, which
means of course that the M3 bumper WILL fit on a Ti. Please accept my
sincerest apologies for that misquote. I've have so many people ask me
about the rear diffuser and side moldings, which I know for sure don't fit,
that I probably stated that in error.
I will post in the GB thread that Ti is fine.
Thank you very much for bringing that to my attention, and please feel free
to post my reply at 318ti.org.
