Another wrecked car need help thread

So a red light runner did this to me on Monday.
It's an 07 E92

Leaking rad, crushed intercooler, hood won't open. You get the point.
Looking at some upgrade options and found the M-tech stuff, which I'm a little confused about. Mainly when I'm reading stuff and then realize its for a e90.

So I think I want the pre lci m tech front bumper. I'm still a little confused on the pre lci / lci difference. The hood being one of them I believe, but since they are replacing the hood also, I'm open to options there also.

I'm open to this **********s hood.

As far bumpers go, is the best deal for a mtech through tischer?
Is this basically what I need?
Are the fogs the same non-hid type?


Any other suggestions are very welcome as I've never thought about exterior mods before.

That sucks bud, glad you're ok though, car's can be replaced and repaired. I got your email regarding the bumper/hood. I'm just concerned about other internal damages this collision may have caused.

Sucks to hear. Glad you are OK. Anyhow, at this point I would go all OEM M3. New fenders, hood, and front bumper M3.

Thanks guys.
Still waiting to hear on the exact damage. Should know next week once they really tear in to it.




I've tried to contact jgmods for the mtech parts.

The m3 stuff does look good but
Id rather keep it 335 and not trying to copy the m3.

Wow any photos of your damage on your 328? I'd prefer for it to be totaled.

you know what would be awesome, take your frm module out, swap it for mine, and than tell insurance yours stopped work.

I get a good one, you get a new one. we both are happy! lol

but sorry for the loss.

look at the JGmod's m3 rep bumper, it would look good. I just put one on mine

Ha. How did your frm module just die?

Apparently the other insurance company is only willing to pay 80% even if their client was at fault.

Talked one today. I'm not paying out of pocket.
The girl who hit me also had a suspended license and 5 speeding tickets.

Long story short, I was hit by their driver (on a suspended license) running a red light. They said I'm 20% and won't budge. I know it probably won't do anything but I have to spread the word over this bullshit. And if you would also , then I would appreciate it.

Here's hoping I can get my car fixed soon

Problem is, very little physical protection behind the bumper and fenders - just refitted my car's front bumper and it's crazy how little structure there is behind the bumper and so on!

That hurts a little inside to see a mangled E92... stupid people out there. But, you're OK
