Guys,

I been calling all the dealers here in San Diego trying to price the M-Tech front bumper. Im getting a bit fustrated beacuse people are telling me different things. For the price of the bumper alone its $605.35, thats seems to be the same at all the dealers. But Im also hearing that I need more parts to complete the install. Some dealers said all i need is about 60 dollars in parts while others are telling me I need $600.00 MORE in parts for the front bumper.

For thoes of you who have the front bumper... what do I really need?

Is it true that I cannot use the the fog lights I already have for this bumper?

Thanks in advance.

If its 2004-2007 you shouldn't need additional parts, BUT for 2008 model they are correct about $600 more in extra parts.

Actually if you don't have PDC on an 08 it's not that much, more like under $200 if you order the parts from Gery and Newport bmw.
Check out the DIY section there are already tons of write ups on the install and if needed LCI parts list .

Yes new fog lights are required with the Mtech kit, you Bumper cover should have come with all the necessary hard ware though.

Yes it actually is just a 2004 non PDC car. I do need some fasteners and lower grills though correct?
