Hello,
First of all, congratulations for this DIY and for this forum in general.
I live in France and I would like to buy a 3.0i Z4. And I like cars with "agressive" aspect but with that keep the original outline of the car. That's the reason why I like very much the Z4M front bumper.
I called BMW in france in order to have the price in euros and here are the results:
Front bumper (1) : 695 euros
Center grill (2) : 75 euros
Joint (7) : 13 euros
Light washer covers (8) : 27 x 2 = 54 euros
(17) I don't know the aim of this part : 29 x2 = 58 euros
Brake air ducts (18) : 27 x 2 = 54 euros
Brackets (19) : 14 x 2 = 28 euros
Total = 977 euros
=> about 1400$ !!!
This is the price WITHOUT painting and handwork.
So I have a few questions:
1) Part (8) light washers covers : that means that it is impossible to keep the light wash function with this bumper?
2) As it has been said by inTgr8r : I don't find the emplacement for the side reflectors. could you please show them to me on a picture?
3) Is it really necessary to buy part (17)? If yes, what is it for?
4) Do you think that It would be better to contact a BMW garage in the US in order to have a better price ( I know that the shipping could be a problem) ? If yes, do you have one to recommand to me (you can also send this information by private message)?
Once again, thank you for your help and I'm sorry if my english is not perfect
