So just won an auction for an M5 bumper cover on ebay - final tally not including shipping was $405 - here's the link.

I think I got it for a good price because it's already painted the color of my car (cosmoschartz black). I need to get all the other installation bits now though, and I'm wondering if I really did save very much money at all..

I was bidding on this for a lil- I think I was outbid at 200 something... I decided after a lil research to go with the 2001-03 oem bumper with a lip spoiler- I like the m5 bumper- but I really I dont like the metal grate stuff in the opening so much....

yeah another car buff friend of mine thinks the grate is a little garish - but it's a good place for an intercooler once I supercharge it... :devillook

ahhh I see supercharged. intercooled. it's all coming together for me. I would love to do something liek a blown 540 someday. The blower kit for my car alone is more than I have in the whole project so far- I won't be going that route. anyway are you planning on keeping your stocker bumper cover supark? cuz I could use one and yours is black... and you will be getting a box to put it in when the m5 piece arrives. just a thought- if you want to part with it for a good price pm me.

That's actually a great idea - the problem is that the shipping would be pretty pricey. It's costing $120 to get the M5 bumper shipped to me. You might be better off just trying to get it locally.
If you're still interested in it though - just shoot me a PM with an offer.
Thanks,

Damnit - I hope it is OEM! Now you got me worried... now I just gotta get ahold of the rest of the install parts.
How do you like that supercharger setup?
