I actually paid for an OEM M3 bumper in a group buy, but it'll be probably a month before I get it. It was $320 shipped however. OEM, not replica.

Is it OE (original equipment) or OEM (original equipment manufacturer)?

Any way nice work, front bumper for 320 is not bad at all.

I was actually looking at that to replace mine that I cracked a bit a week ago. I decided against it as it would be too much $320+paint+the necessary parts to put it on the 328.

Its a replica of OEM specs though looks to be good quality.

OE is the original equipment a manufacturer makes for acutal BMWs.
For example if you replaced your shocks w/ BMW OE shocks (mine were made by Boge) they would have a the roundel on them. If I bought the OEM shocks they wouldn't have the BMW roundel, but they would still be Boge shocks.

The only other main difference between OE and OEM is that some OEM parts are not made to the same quality standards as OE parts.
