Hey guys,

I'm thinking about getting one of these replica ABS plastic E36 M3 front bumpers. They aren't OEM but they also aren't fiberglass - and they include the OEM front lip, mesh, and mouldings. At $199, they are a deal! The downside? The shipping charge: $80 each. At $280, they're only $70 cheaper than a proper OEM bumper from the dealer.

Is anyone else interested in one of these? They'd be good for cheap-skates like myself for our street cars or as cheap replacements for you local 30-year-old-wannabe-club-racers on your track cars. I'm thinking if we can get 5 or so people, ship them all together to the same place, we could save a reasonable amount on the order.

u know, i bet if you went thru someone at a dealership and got a few people together, you might be able to get the safety and security of an OEM piece, at the replica pieces price.

i should strap one on my E46, hehe

No one's interested? :(

Their first offer for multi-item group purchase was $10 off each.

do they make rear bumpers?

I asked about the rear bumpers.

How can a piece of plastic cost so much money?

Any deal with 3 people?

i could probably order the oem m3 bumper for u, not sure how much dealer rates are for the bumper, but i'm sure its cheaper. I was gonna get one but then i found a free 3 series bumper from when i got in an accident

Well find out the wholesale OEM rate.

How could you order one cheaper? I am interested and would perfer oem if the price is right. Let us know, thanks.

guess this fell through, anyone know the best place to find a reasonably priced abs M bumper or what they cost from the dealer with the cca discount?

I'm working on finding out the wholesale OEM price... but at the moment I'm on vacation in Florida! I'll be back to deal with this soon.

I'd be interested in an M3 rear bumper.

Well find out the wholesale OEM rate.
Wholesale is usually 20% off BMW list, unless you buy over $50,000 per month. That's what I sell to all of you for :devillook (CCA only is supposed to be 10%)
What most people don't realize is that it's just not a front bumper cover that comes complete. You need to buy new bump strips, center mesh grill and clips, lower lip and clips, brake ducts etc...
I'll try and figure out a price on Monday for those in the area interested. I'll post a diagram pic with a list of all you need to swap.

The non-taxed wholesale is more than 20% off, no?

At the dealership I get parts from (Crown BMW) the CCA discount is 20%. I don't know if that is off list but I am assuming it is. I would have thought the parts manager would get a pretty nice discount. None the less let us know what you come up with.

I'll bring this back to life one more time to see if anyone is still interested or anyone new is.
