Front bumper ID?

[steffenme1]

I was browsing ebay looking for parts and found a listing for a 3.0 roadster but I don't recognize the front bumper.



Any ideas?

The fitment on that bumper is terrible! Look at the area where it connects to the right front fender. The marker light looks like it will fall off and the bumper is significantly out of alignment with the fender. Plus in other pictures, you can see the bumper is higher in some spots than the hood and then lower in others. While the design looks OK, the fitment is just bad!

Its an asian 1M front end knockoff morphed on to the front of innocent victim.

A quarter angle, but this is what the BMW aerodynamics kit front end looks like.

+1 on the OEM aero bumber and skirts, plus those parts fit perfectly.



-100 on the 1M clone, even if it fit well, it's too complicated looking for the simplistic look of the rest of the Z4 body.

Too bad the aero side skirts are NLA. They should have been standard on the M's.

I had no idea they were NLA, though the car is now 10 years old.



You're right, the M should have had them standard, it has a different hood and bumpers, why not the aero skirts.



Do you know if the aero bumper is still available? It probably wasn't a big seller due to cost.

Not sure on the bumper. I tried to get the side skirts recently and no one has the left side skirt in stock and they are NLA from the factory. The right one does me no good without the left.

I got mine from Tischer for $175 each, who are local to me, but it was a few years ago. Maybe give them a try.
