True but Poly is better than ABS

my Rieger is plastic, not fiberglass.

ABS is better than polyurethane or else most OEM bumpers would use it wouldn't they?

**voca** · 10-23-2005, 10:01 PM

polyurethane is just a bit heavier, but much more flexible making a good fitment and less prone to breaking.

guys quit with the argument about which meterial is better, i think weve had this argument in like 3 other threads, if i were you, i would go with the OEM M3 bumper, to me it looks better(no offence speiluhr, if that offends you)

**Spieluhr** · 10-23-2005, 11:45 PM

^^^
it doesn't. everyone has their opinion.

**komodo** · 10-24-2005, 12:35 AM

I vote M3 OEM.

I personally like the DTM one, but judging by how low it is its probably not a good choice. ull probably just gonan end up ripping it off if u smoke a pothole. So go with the M3 bumper

**94bmw325i** · 10-24-2005, 07:58 PM

Potholes wise, I would pick m3 bumper OEM style.
