if you get me a new sepeng bronze aero bumper, I'll do a straight swap =)

[dekaliber]

Damn, I have a spare bumper, but I really, really, really don't want to ship the thing. :\

[Diokaef]

$840 + shipping

The bumper is complete with all you need for the swap and it's in great condition it has 4K miles on it.

Let me know I Pm'd you as well.

Not really if you add all the stuff needed for the swap you will be over 1k easy.

Hey man, its a tough economy and the inflation on used car parts is about 80%

[jnkhan82]

lol $840 is way to high. thanks tho.

I can grab the areo bumper for far less. I like both, but dislike my 03' bumper, looks off to me.

the Z4 ///M bumper is only around 400 new from the dealer ready to be painted and installed.

maybe have to buy a few other odds and ends.


rule of thumb any used parts tend or should bring around half or so of its origanal value, then again rarity and class of vehicle price will very.

There's a lot that's involved in the conversion, but list price of total brand new is barely over $840. With 20% Tischer discount you're looking at <$700. What's missing?

[jnkhan82]

hmmm would the facelift bumper be just as expensive to convert?

btw thanks for the list of parts dekaliber! major help

[Diokaef]

^Most likely, You should set aside for this swap $1000 that should do it no matter what direction you go for.

[fercho]

that's what i thought, not to mention his price of 840 doesn't even include shipping. and i could still go to my local dealer (avoid tischer's shipping fees) and just get msrp - cca discount which would get me to tischer's prices.

question is do i go with the m bumper of aero. i'm not one for trying to make my car look like a m (hate when others do that too, lol) but just not many options, unlike the 3 which has m-tech. the aero bumper is ok but dont like how it reverts to the older style fogs...

[Diokaef]

Do you have any idea how much work is needed to ship a bumper and make sure that will get there safe, the price that I put is because I would guaranty that you will get it in one piece and overall I still have to take out of my car and ship it, so I'm not forcing anybody to buy it I just put it out there if he want's. the price still lower then a brand new one.

I have a BSM with busted mounts and scratches on the right side that I will let go cheap :dunno:

that makes NO sense b/c your price of 840 did NOT include shipping why are you lecturing us on the cost of having something arrive safely when your price of 840 is JUST for parts. clearly you were going to charge more on top.

and overall, you have to take it off your car, yes the same effort involved in anyone doing a swap with you, or installing your parts. the conversion itself is not that difficult.

your price is your price, who cares. clearly, i'm not the only one who thinks its too much considering its used. delivery charges aside, even if we picked up local we all think its high for what it is. you pointed out yourself, the conversion is about 1000. most of us can get 20% off msrp so that puts us right at your price for new. your package would only benefit someone if it happen to be the same color so you save that person from having to get it painted (assuming your bumper is in pristine condition).

you're not forcing us to buy it, we get it. but we're not forced to like your price either, so it is what it is.

^Packaging, But anyways this is getting more heat then it needs, sorry if I was offensive or something.
