New bumper maybe? - United Bimmer Community

**Rooz** · 07-24-2005, 08:45 PM

A member from another forum turned my attention to this auction:

BMW E36 M3 Bumper 325 328 318 M3 Polyurethane!!!

I am kinda thinking of getting it because the price he offers is the price you would have to pay for a NON Poly. bumper. But kinda uneasy about this....

What do you guys think?

seems ok, I think I have seen that guy on bimmer forums, well whoever owns that car in the pictures.

He's charging 100 for shipping. Just save an extra 100 and purchase a real m3 bumper. Plasic is the best material for bumpers you can get. Thats why BMW uses if for their OE parts.

Or just buy a replica m3 bumper from Bekkers Imports. It costs 350, same price as your e-bay one.

^^ Yes but those are ABS, this is Polyurethane....

If you were to get that one, it would be a good idea to buy the porkchops and the brake ducts & the JT-design underpanel. Assuming they fit... personally I went with OEM parts but I wanted to install it myself.

I was quoted $698.58 for OEM M3 Bumper (that's wholesale price), that's primed, trims, with ducts and tow cover.

**bmw4life** · 07-24-2005, 09:52 PM

I think it would be ok to get the bumper from ebay. It seems to be a real good deal.

**Rooz** · 07-24-2005, 10:00 PM

Well, I messaged our sponser Eurogarager.com and IF they give me a better deal than Bekker Imports, I'll buy it from our sponsor, if not, I'll get tha Ebay one

**komodo** · 07-24-2005, 10:02 PM

They might not be our sponsor much longer, hehe, they're almost 2 weeks late on their sponsorship payment. Mention that when you email them, lol (so they see business is actually coming from them supporting ub.c).

**Rooz** · 07-24-2005, 10:05 PM

I'v been trying to e-mail them for a while, but they never answer, this time I sent the message via the "contact us" on their website.... We'll see what happends.

thats sad dude, im buying an M3 OEM factory replica bumper made out of ABS plastic with everything needed for install for $600 CDN plus taxes.$600 CANADIAN, not that uber gay US conversion crap.

**Rooz** · 07-25-2005, 07:03 PM

^^ I mean I can get a NON OEM bumper made of abs for a LOT lower price than that, that' quote was for OEM parts!

oh sorry, the one im getting is an OEM factory replica. the guy whos selling it said its basicly identical to one you get from BMW exept with a German plate frame

**Rooz** · 07-26-2005, 01:07 PM

Guess what! I called EurogragerR.com and they matched the price from Bekker Imports,

This is why I don't like my days off, I end up buying stuff, lol. But yeap, I just ordered a new M3 E36 style Poly. Front bumper....

However, I only paid $350 for it shipping included

Komodo: They definetly know that am from UnitedBImmer too

**94bmw325i** · 07-26-2005, 02:39 PM

so matched the price plus UB discount? Or matched price w/ UB discount?
