I will sell you my old one w/ no hardware, and has a slight crack in it for $100. It is black but will need to be repainted. the crack is not visible once installed because it is on the under-side of the bumper. Also the foglight bracket mountings will need to be re-inforced to hold hold the brackets. Let me know......

Sounds pretty beat up. are the brackets copletely broken? how can would you go about reinforcing them.

No it really isn'th that bad. The crack is not visible when mounted, and all you would have to do to fix it anyways would be to either staple it or fibergalls over top of it on the inside. And no the mountings for the brackets are not completely busted. all you would have to do to reinforce them would be to gut and drill out holes in little metal strips and glue them on maybe on either side of the mounting. Kind-of like surrounding the mounts. It would make them stronger. The reason they are weak is because the bumpers were not made very well and couldn't handle the everyday driving and all. Something must have hit my foglights a few times and made the mounts have hairline cracks in them, but they are not full cracks and do not go all the way through. Just let me know........I saw a used and damaged factory M3 front bumper that was completely torn in the front go for $150........so $100 def isn't a bad price, oh yeah, and it comes w/ all the trim. I Just don't have the airducts, foglight brackets, grille, or any of the mounting hardware. Yeah so let me know.

hmmm I guess it weighs something like 10-15lbs, not really sure. But my zipcode is 21071. The bumper isn't that heavy it is just awkward.

$100.00 is a good price. I purchased on from ebay for around $89.00 with a small crack. I just laminated the back-side of the crack with fiberglass ( for reinforcement) and used body-filler on the crack on the visible side, sanded, primed, and painted. Came out great. The cool thing was 325 fog-lights fit right in the M3 bumper.

sure I can post some pics................if this doesn't work I'll email them to you

here is the crack..........if you fiberglass over it and then prim it and sand it down it will be unnoticable.

My local bmw dealer quoted 286 plus 45 for the mesh insert.
