you can get it on ebay for less than $100, but in order to fit, you have to modify it (sand and sand...), lots of works.

Guess I gotta find a shop that specializes in fiberglass work if that's the case...will definitely cost more than the actual cost of the bumper, lol.

I may sound stupid or ignorant but why do many people here look for replicas?

You have a BMW "The Ultimate Driving Machine"

Would you guys get replica BMWs if they had them?

I'm all for it if you're satisfied but why?

Excellent question.

The reality is the original is just a flimsy piece of fiberglass with a HUGE premium. If you can find a good replica, the quality will be better and cost less.

Case in point, the replica I bought from DTM autohaus. It's lighter and MUCH MUCH better quality material. Plus the cost is half hartge is charging.

I leased my 325i and since I have to return it in 3 years, I'd rather buy some replica lip thats like 1/8th the price and enjoy it, and not have to worried about an $800 lip getting scratched up because I took a bump the wrong way. Also $800 for a front LIP is completely ridiculous, even the $400 for the Hartge Replica is kind of pushing it for me, but I might give in. How much does it really cost to make these things is what I'm wondering?

I'm also not really sure how much the dealers charges for the M Aerodynamic front bumper, but I know it ain't cheap, so I'm definitely interested in a replica.

yeah, oem is not always good. i do not like fiberglass aero parts to be honest, because they can crack. i prefer urethane or some sort of product that gives way.

well were working on one of our own body kits.. thats really similar to the m kit, but has a lip to it... not sure when it will be ready, but it will be made of the same material as well.

were not really going to get any other replicas.. maybe the hamann... if theres a lot of people.. not sure.. we rather work on our own body kit line..

were working on another project.. which is the m3 look front bumper.. hopefully should be ready in a month or so.. and it will be made of our hybrid FRP material :rocks: so please be patient it will be ready soon. thanks

If anyone would like to know more.. feel free to give me a call
