M-Tech from bumper for E90

JacobT · 11-13-2007, 01:42 PM

I was thinking about replacing the front bumper with M-Tech since it's only $349 from Jlevisw.com. But what"s the catch? Looks like I need to buy lots of other stuff to make it work, i.e., fogs, mesh, splitters, mounting hardware? Plus I need to get it pained. For those with M-Tech front on their E90s, what's the total cost to put on this "sportier" bumper?

The catch is that they usually charge an arm and a leg to install it, from what I've heard.

Things might be different in Texas though..

Total cost would be $900-1000 for everything. Paint alone is 100% the cost of the bumper itself.

So how's the fitment? If I can remove the stock bumper, I should be able to install the M-Tech bumper back on? For a total cost pushing $2k, I probably just go with ACS front bumper lip which is just attached with tapes.

fitment should be dead on... its oem...

shragon · 11-14-2007, 12:31 PM

yea, iirc, it does not come with all the other stuff you'll need for the install.

karliejai · 11-15-2007, 11:13 PM

wheres the best place to buy all the other stuff to install the M-tech? dealer?

EuroBlu · 11-16-2007, 12:34 AM

might be cheaper with Tischer BMW. $600 with all the other parts

or for $950 they sell the entire m kit for the 335i. will be $200 shipping tho. another option is longtran.

Tischer is near NJ. You can probably pick up the parts, but the boxes are HUGE (at least the rear is).
