I bought one of these bumpers last week and the vendor
would be willing to do a group buy $250 plus shipping.
It comes with moldings and the mesh and lip are integrated
on the bumper. He needs 10 to do a group buy.

As far as installation took me about 2 to 3 hours because
I had to use everything from the old bumper to the new one.

More pics

did it come with the air ducks and lower cover?

What about moldings? Those suckers are expensive.

I'm in. I need to replace my current one. The foglight housing is broken :buttrock

It came with front bumper moldings.

Under cover is integrated.

"Pork chops", brake ducts,
fog light brackets. and bumper reinforcement were transferred from my old bumper as well as bolts and screws.

How much was it to get painted? Might be in if I have the money.

How many people are down for this? I will order one today if we can get enough people in on it.

I'm down

We should start putting together a list of people that are interested and willing to prepay

IM IN, someone PM me when we need to send the money to the vendor :buttrock

I've seen it in person and even test fitted it on my car. Everything lines up pratically perfectly.

I'm down with $250.

I'm very interested. Can we get the slat grill instead of the mesh or will the factory slat grill work with the replica? Is there anyway to see pictures of the complete kit? Can we use Paypal?

the paint looks kinda wavy??? anywayz would i be able to put velocity splitters on this?? thx!

Ok here's what I've got so far in terms of interest - let me know if I should add anyone...

Looks like we got enough if everyone's still in... I've sent Emotion Garage an email to see what the next step is and have invited them to this forum - hopefully they'll drop by.

do these come primed / painted? Can we get them to paint them?

is there a way to find out how much shipping would be to 48083?

im down if i can pick it up, i live close to san jose

I've got a contact in Santa Fe Springs California, that can also setup a GB for the same price on these bumpers... Let me know, if this vendor doesn't work out

Thanks for the invite Supark.

Here are the details of the bumper:

Full ABS Construction - excellent fitment.
Lower lip is integrated
Grille is included
Moldings are included
New foglight *bumper* brackets included (not the full fog bracket thats behind the fog lamp), but the one that houses the pivoting joint. (youll need it on M3 bumpers since they are longer).

So basically everything you need for the conversion is included. You use your stock bumper carrier. Easy bolt on.

If we can get 10 buyers prepaid we can do $250+shipping. Shipping will depend on your location but can range from $85-140 due to the size of the box and since we will have to use truck freight in many places. Typical bumper shipping rate is $100-115 but we can calculate exact cost once we get your address.

These are very popular in the Road Race crowd as they are OEM quality and cheaper than from the dealer when people crash and need replacements.

Weve sold many and they fit great.

Right now we only have one left in stock. We expect a container leaving on the 17th and arriving in January; so that would be the earliest they will arrive. Of course one lucky person can get theirs now. If you guys can wait we would happily do this gb for you. The only thing is we need to have the order in by this week to get enough on the container.

We can also offer ABS M3 Side skirts for $150/pair if purchased with this GB (can be shipped together and not incur any additional shipping fees)
Sides skirts only, youll need the jack hole covers and any plastic clips and such from the dealer. Not too expensive.

Also we'll bring back the Crystal Fog Deal for a insane deal of $65/pair. Comes with all brackets. (again we can put this in the bumper box and not incur any additional shipping fees)

So if this is really going to happen we will really need an accurate count and get payments in by this week to make sure there are enough to go around.

Locals can pick up. CA Residents add 8.25% tax.

Emotion, are these painted?
If not, can your garage offer them pre painted?

Thanks for the invite Supark.

Awesome deal. I'm definitely in for the bumper. I would get the skirts too but I already have a pair. The plastic mounting clips are cheap from the dealer. Both sides cost me about 5 bucks or so. I just bought the crystal fogs recently from your GB about a month ago and they're incredible. Even better pricing too if its free shipping. I might even pick up an extra set just in case. Thanks EG!!! Keep us updated.

could u get the rieger infinity I bumper also?

I've got a contact in Santa Fe Springs California, that can also setup a GB for the same price on these bumpers... Let me know, if this vendor doesn't work out

If your contact can get the bumper cover shipped for less than I think we should consider it - $80 and higher for shipping seems a bit steep, I shipped all four of my wheels and tires for that much and the combined weight was over 160 pounds...

Could you get an answer back with shipping estimates for your contact?

So I just talked to Will over at Emotion Garage and he explained the situation a bit more.

Basically, they need to know if we can get 10 people together for the group buy by Sunday, because they have to get the additional bumpers onto their container. He needs the bumper prepaid either with a credit card number or money order - but again they won't receive the shipment until January.

He also said that people around the same area can have a few bumpers shipped to the same address and dramatically save on shipping costs - that's something we'd need to figure out amongst ourselves. He quoted me between $80-$100 for shipping to Seattle due to the size of the box - which does make sense (I checked bavauto.com just for reference - and it costs $85 to ship an M-technic bumper to me).

So basically we need 10 people to put down the cash - who's in?

Dam, its that expensive for shipping? im from canada =( i guess im not in

Yeah it's gonna be about that much regardless of where you get it - unless you can pick one up locally...

Can a different grill be used, because the stock one has two different grills a mesh grill or a slat plastic grill.

The slat portion is just an insert kinda thing. Here is a pic off of realoem.com/bmw

6. socal328
7. lavalamp

If there is anyone in StL area looking to get one PM me and we can arrange some kind of shipping.

I'm still in

shit the shipping is very steep, im on the other side of the country. for that much hassle i can just go to local dealer and pick up tomorrow for 10-15 dollars more

sorry guys im out :(

Please add me for the full monty - bumper, skirts and fogs. I'm in the Seattle area - hope to share shipping costs with other NW'ers.

Are the pork chops and brake ducts included that are shown in the pic posted by RenegadeBMW?

Going on a 325is. I assume that skirts are available for the coupe?

I bought this a month ago and Will said I would
be included in the number from the group buys
and will give me a group buy price. They are pretty
cool to deal with and are helpful in your questions.
The installation was very simple. You will need
everything, I mean everything from the old bumper
including the pork chops and brake ducts.
Installation about 4 hours.
Paint cost me $200 from a local body shop.

how much would this cost from the dealer?

You can get the M3 bumper conversion kit for about $340 from pacific bmw - the OEM bumper conversion doesn't include a lip or a grill though. I think you can get the grill for $40 and a lip for around $125? So if you add that up - comes to $505 plus shipping for all the stuff you get with this bumper. I guess the only tradeoff is that you've gotta like the look of the lip.

Again, once this is all put to together, please PM me with the all the payment and contact information asap.

-Thanks.

i might be interested, but shipping seems too high for me at the current moment. need to know shipping for 30044. thx.

Sign me up.. i need a new bumper :) .. how many do they have in stock, or how soon can they start shipping ? be nice to have one for christmas.. sitting under tree, from: Me to: Me :stickoutt :stickoutt

I'll tell ya what guys, the price Emotion Garage is offering on Shipping is honestly what shipping costs, I can bet they aren't making a dime off of that... Shipping usually ranges from $125+

well, how does it compare to the OEM bumper? I drove to pacific BMW in glendale cali and with the whole kit total came up to a little over 600 dollars. This was without shipping. The special discount is for online only not in person. I looked at the costs for both and they both relatively come out the same. Shipping kills the online price. If this is a quality piece that will be hard to tell that's fake, I'll buy one. Lets do this soon, only time I have to paint my car is in December. Thanks

Answers to a few questions:

The bumper comes in black ABS plastic as in rcristobals pics. We do not offer paint for them as it will definitely look better if a local shop does a photo-paint match.

Bumper from the dealer is extremely expensive if you add up all the parts, take supark's example:

"You can get the M3 bumper conversion kit for about $340 from pacific bmw - the OEM bumper conversion doesn't include a lip or a grill though. I think you can get the grill for $40 and a lip for around $125? So if you add that up - comes to $505 plus shipping for all the stuff you get with this bumper. I guess the only tradeoff is that you've gotta like the look of the lip."

You still have to add in the M3 Molding strips which can be up to ~$150.
So youre looking at over $650 *without* shipping from a dealer.

The included grill can be removed and you can install a slat grill but youll need some additional hardware. Note the included grille is not exact to stock. Please view the image from rcristobals pics.

As for shipping, we dont make nothing off shipping, if you want to call your own freight you can but its all going to cost between $80-125 depending where you are. The bumpers will go via truck freight because UPS will not take them due to the size.

A suggestion for Canadians is if you have a friend near the border to ship it to the US address and drive over and pick it up there.

Also you can save freight if multiple bumpers are shipped to one address and a few of you get together and pick it up.

Seriously we need to get a count and start getting payments in or we wont have enough for everyone. DEADLINE IS SUNDAY, if we have 10 participants, we will contact you all for payment information on MONDAY. The container will arrive sometime in mid January. If we miss this container it will be another month and a half.

Payment information:
We will take credit cards for those that ship to confirmed home addresses. For those want to ship with other people, we will require money order/cashiers check or the one person we ship to must pay for the entire quantity. We will charge $100usd as a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit when orders are placed. When the bumpers arrive in January, we will charge the remaining amount.

Thanks to those on this forum that vouched for us. We plan on sponsoring this forum in January. Any San Francisco Bay Area customers are invited to drop by. We are brick and mortar so were here to serve you.

Many of you have contacted us regarding the one bumper we have in stock. We have decided that to make this fair, once the list is complete and payments done, we will do a random lottery to determine who gets it.

Does the bumper come ready-to-paint, or does it need to be primed first?

To get this rolling, we have created a link for those that are ready to order:

http://www.emotiongarage.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EG&Product_Code=EGM3ABSBUMPER-GB

Item is not primed but the ABS is smooth so it should be no problem for your body shop. They should always prime it before paint.

hey emotion garage, i live in san jose, would it be possilbe to do a pick up? and if not, that would be messed up man... i live like 10 minutes away.

well count me in since i would pick up locally.

hey emotion garage, i live in san jose, would it be possilbe to do a pick up? and if not, that would be messed up man... i live like 10 minutes away.

Of course you can pick up.

alright i'm in. i went ahead and paid the $100.
i trust you on perfect fitting etc.

I'll tell ya what guys, the price Emotion Garage is offering on Shipping is honestly what shipping costs, I can bet they aren't making a dime off of that... Shipping usually ranges from $125+

They might not be making money off shipping, but definately aren't using a cheaper shipping company, either. I sent an M3 front bumper cover, with brake ducts and grille from 60 miles north of Seattle to Miami for right around $60 via FedEx. UPS wanted twice as much, as did USPS. That $60 included an extra surcharge since we don't have an 'official' FedEx drop point.

I don't mean to dump on this thread, just suggesting a well known, reliable shipper that's cheaper. It seems that a lot of people are holding off due to shipping costs, and this could help both seller and buyers.

Just put my money in. C'mon guys lets do this.

Sunday is a little soon for me, maybe next Sunday. It would be nice if Paypal was accepted.

c'mon people, don't be shy.

SO I just read through this thread, And I am pretty interested. I live in the seattle area near a lot of other people buying this bumper. I want to get a couple things straight, the bumper comes with everything i need to put it on my 325is, with no conversion parts or anything? all I need to do is paint it? and am I too late to get into this?

You will use most of the parts from your stock bumper. All you will need to do is have it primed and painted.

You guys are free to arrange your own shipping but we are not liable after it is picked up.

Your own freight must be shipping to your billing address and have delivery confirmation/tracking.

If you have a friend pick up we will require full payment by money order/cashiers check. We will hold your credit card as a deposit, but the entire amount $250 must be sent before the item is picked up. This is just for fraud prevention.

I'll be interested if shipping was a bit cheaper.

Also to clarify it, is it ABS or urethane

i might be down, pending my money situation after the holidays

could we get weight and dimensions so we can look up shipping prices?

Not to try and wreck anything for anyone, just trying to save people money, but look here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7939371666&category=33640

This bumper looks the same (all integrated) and it says it's ABS, and the auction started says that they also sell sideskirts and "euro fogs" . . . .

So i'm willing to bet it's the same product, for 50$ cheaper.

yeah it's pretty much the same thing.

I actually bought one of the bumpers of the link you posted and I emailed the guy asking him if I could pick it up myself to save the shipping charges since I live like 20 minutes from his location and I asked him if the bumper was actually made of ABS and not urethane, but he never replied and never sent me an invoice, so I think there could be some fitment issues there :dunno

I got my Hood from EG. Their good guys.

-Rich

We only have 4 paid right now so we dont think its going to make it. For those interested, we should have enough for you already on the container but since it did not reach the GB quantity, we can still offer a discounted price.

Please contact us and we will work out the details.

blah, i guess i'll take a refund :/

ok.. 4 paid so far ? hmm.. if i go in rite now, would that help ? :confused .. if not, how much are we still talking about discounted ?

For those that put the deposit down, we'll contact you with details about a special deal since you guys were down for the gb.

Just to respond to this post. The bumper on eBay is not the same as ours. Ours are ABS black plastic, materials are made from a certified factory that makes oem replacement bumpers. We have tested fitting on the bumper many times and it is excellent. Please view images on first post to see a photo of the item.

id be interested if i werent saving up about a grand to pay for traffic tickets and fines.

I'm trying to arrange a Rieger Infinity I lip spoiler GB too if any of you guys decide to go that route (yeah, I know, make up my mind). Decided I actually prefer the stock look with the lip - $210 shipped.

Just talked to Emotion Garage and they can only match the price - as the company that has agreed to take part in a group buy actually supplies Rieger products to them. Not a dis on EG at all - but hey you can't expect them to sell them at a loss.

Update - if you live in the Burbank Cali area, you can pick the lip up for $180.

well im late but im guessing you guys already ordered some to come in that container so i'll be PMing you in mid- january to see what the deal is.

im definitely interested in one of these if fitment is like you said. i could pick up as well so its definitely a good deal for me.

We carry the entire Rieger line as well and we'd love to quote you guys if youre interested. Please send us an email. Thanks!

So I guess we can't use the distributor I was talking to because they're not a sponsoring vendor. Would you be able to match the $210 shipped price they were offering for the Rieger Infinity I lip?

any m3 sidskirts avaliable?

I currently own a 2 door e36(non m3) and I was wondering if I installed oem m3 bumper or this bumper do I need to get just the bumper cover or do I need the metal part too?

And btw if anyone would sell me their old m3 bumper cover I would be interested if its scratched up or anything its still ok I would prefer black but anycolor is fine.

emotiongarage, any update on the delivery?

Container arrives on the 11th, which is tomorrow. If it clears customs with no problem we should have it unloaded by next Monday.

sweet!!! when do u want the rest of the payment to be made, and how much is left ? btw.. how much estimated is shipping to 92880 ? if to much, then i'd rather drive and pick it up.. thanks.

hey eg, im interested in buying the bumper still, but, would you be able to give me a good deal on it? cause the tax sucks hehe, im in san jose...

emotiongarage, just checking in. Please let me know of the status. Thanks.

any of these bumpers left over? Seems as if i missed hte deadline perhaps. email me at Spieluhr@hotmail.com as i do not check back here often. I would love any help anyone could provide. thanks again.

i just ended getting the ebay m3 bumper (linked to earlier in the thread). altho i havn't installed it yet, it seems like a quality part. the only thing i don't like is the moldings, they are smooth unlike the ones i had on my bumper (i think, i don't have it here to look at..).

it's gonna take me a while to put it on but i'll prolly start a thread when i do, so i just tought i'd let y'all know that ebay bumper seems good.

also it looks like ABS plastic like described, but someone wanted to be sure it wasn't urethane, how could i know if it's ABS or urethane?

pretty sure ABS and urethane are both good, what you want it made out of

i know they're both good, but i think ABS is better, and someone was wondering if it actually was abs or if it was urethane, so i was trying to figure out if it actually is abs.

hope theres another group buy soon =\

well.. EG emailed stating they got the bumpers in.. now i am just waiting for them to email again, with total plus shipping.. err.. i want it ASAP.. but they are lagging really bad :(

hmm.. Lavalamp when do u think u will start the install and the bumper, am curious how the install goes, and if its a good direct bolt up ?

We apologize for any delay. We finally got everything unloaded last friday and we're getting them into the warehouse. We're trying to get these in the smallest boxes possible so buyers are not charged crazy amounts for shipping.

M3 mouldings are smooth. Non-M3 mouldings have that textured moulding.

Coupe E36- Check your email, you should have your shipping and final total. We have it boxed up for you already.

Cory,

I have emailed you on the 24th letting you know that the E36 bumpers are
in and we wanted to know if you were still interested so I can calculate
shipping for you. Please let me know. Thanks!

I wrote back and said of course I am!
I already put a 100 down on this thing.

I'm sure they are just having delays which is understandable. It doesn't bother me too much, I just would like to finish things up.


from what, matt said.. the 100$ down we thought we put down.. they never really actually charged it, so u will still end up paying around 350$ or so ?

We decided that we would hold off on charging the participants and just do one single charge once the item was here. We took good faith that if the customer provided their information they would not back out.

Thanks to those that came through, it makes it easier for us to do group buys and offer lower pricing. Unfortunately someone did back out and we might have to pre-charge deposits next time because we are now stuck with an extra bumper.

The price is $250 + actual shipping. California add tax.

We'll get your bumper out today Cory, I'll personally make sure the shipping dept. handles it.

Thanks again all, if we are left with any bumpers we will go down our PM list and contact those who are interested. Pricing is a little higher for non-GB participants. Please PM us if you are interested to be on the list. Thanks.

Got my tracking # today. I can't wait, and thanks for helping us all out on this GB.

Hey emotionGarage.. this bumper is a direct bolt onto the stock points correct, no modifications needed ? because my bodyshop said they will just paint it, and wait till its dried and everything before i bring my car in, that way i wont have to go so long w/out my car.. but if theres a few modifications needed, then i would need to bring car there, so they can do the modifications before painting.. well let me know, thanks..

The fitment is pretty much perfect, there is no need for modifications other than using the stock parts. Basically we recommend you first install everything from your stock bumper to the M3 one before painting. You’ll need the rebar, fog brackets, and all those little plastic nails/screws, use the new outside fog brackets included with the bumper not the stock ones(the M3 is longer). Then use the rest of the stock fog holder bracket. Once the parts are there youll know what to do (if not ask the body shop, they should be able to help figure it out). Its tough to wrestle and install those things after because you might scratch your new paint.

Pork chops and brake ducts can be installed after the bumper is mounted on your car.

If they are knowledgeable with BMWs and know how to do quality paint they should be able to do it no problem. They should always wet sand it once and primer it before paint.

*Big Tip* If you dont want your lip area painted - *Make sure you tell the body shop to mask it off!* Body shop guys dont ask so make sure you tell them!

hey emotiongarage, I sent you a PM. Can you get back to me with the shipping quote (zip 13676), total, and your payment address on that 1 remaining bumper? Also, how soon could you get it out to me if I made the payment tonight?

emotiongarage, payment is made & PM sent! :)

All the bumpers are sold. Thanks again to all for participating and making this a smooth and successful GB!
