Help: Bumper condition - easy fix?

standaya · 07-27-2011, 06:08 AM

Hi ALL,

Totally noob here so please bare with me. I now have a 2003 z4 non M jetblack and will do a z4 m front bumper conversion. Now this guy is selling me a used M bumper for $150 but please see attached pics if it is worth dealing with. Its cheap for sure but can this be fixed easily? and how? or I could just send it to a body shop and let them deal with it. any info would be great!!! just tired of the front bumper look.

I agree, that's a lot of work that needs to be done for a selling price of $150. I say pass and wait for a better condition bumper to pop up.

Tischer sells them for like $380 but they get you on the shipping- $175 flat rate

Plenty of local/enthusiast shops who sell OEM parts will match Tischer pricing w/o the shipping. That's what I did when I purchased my Aero bumper =)

yeah I'm going to buy local when I replace mine in the fall, didn't feel like working on it until the end of the driving season up here

Thanks for all the replies, I will pass this one up. The new one is $352 plus $100 shipping from Mike who sells OEM parts at BMWpartstore.com. Btw, He sells OEM parts for cheaps.
