This is the bumper I got through the Bimmerforums group buy. $270.00 delivered to my door. Flexible plastic design, everything I need is from original bumper or provided, except for the M-tech brake ducts.  __________________

I got mine too.. beautiful piece. I also am in the process of buying a used bumper support so I can bolt it together, and take it to a paint shop before installing it on my car. | | | | | 09-29-2006, 10:38 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I talked to my paint shop, he said not to worry about the paint cracking during install. I had him paint my M-tech rear bumper, and the bumper was very flexible after I got it back.

Is that OEM?
you have to have a front license plate in your state right?
It's just weird seeing a Mtech without the "BMW" center impact strip. | | | | | 09-30-2006, 12:45 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 |
oh? that is good to know.. and would save me $50. Maybe I should go talk to the body shop next week and see what they say. I know with plastic pieces they need to add a 'flex agent" to let the plastic move without cracking the paint. | | | | | 10-03-2006, 10:45 PM | #8 | | islander on the mainland Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: SF Bay Area Posts: 286 |

Installed the bumper today. Went together fairly easy. The front license plate moulding is made for a German car, so I had to drill holes in it. Pics to follow tomorrow.
Looks to be a very good deal overall. I was too lazy to put on the spoiler lip, will do that another day. __________________

Ironic, it was $270.00 for the bumper, and $275.00 to paint it. Then also consider that I got the paint job done for cost, friend of the family. Quote: Originally Posted by mischief lookd nice
