Hello. I am new here and glad to be here. I recently got in to minor accident ruining front and rear bumper. I like to know my options on replacing the bumpers. Will insurance cover me to get different bumper? If it's possible what is the best bumper to get.?

Welcome ...




An accident is not a great way to have to introduce yourself but you are sure to get lots of recommendations about what to replace your front and rear bumpers with.

But, let me start off with one little suggestion ... update your profile with some details about your car and your location. That will help members offer up opinions about what your options are!

Well you can always go for the mtech bumpers. Front and rear..insurance should cover it..but if your deductible is more then $1000 just pay out of pocket.

Oh and .

It's more than 1000 dollars damage. Maybe 10000 worth damage. I lost control of the car in black ice.. Car spun 2 times denting rear left and front right panel damaging both bumper. Also bent front right control arm and axle..

I would like to know where to get good quality mtech bumpers. No fiberglass..

I contacted Gary @ Newport BMW and he had replied back to me with a quote for my 2009 535:

Full M-Aero Kit consisting of front and rear bumpers and sideskirts, w/fogs
1596.00

Front bumper M- Tech only with attaching parts and fogs. 1000.00

M5 Rear Bumper with attaching parts 700.00

Shipping Approx 200.00


Personally I don't see where the 20% discount comes in. I got a quote from my local BMW Parts Center at BMW Bayside and they had quoted me 700 for front M5 bumper and 600 for rear M5 bumper.

I would go with getbmwparts.com

Sorry about newbie question. Will m5 front fit on my car? And what do I need to replace such as fog light or parking sensor. How about rear m5 bumper, it come with dual exhaust cut out, but I only have single.. Do they sell cover for the hole.

This has been discussed already...

Someone just recently damaged my front stock bumper, so I used the situation to my advantage and ordered me an aftermarket M-style kit minus the rear bumper. The insurance gave me a quote on a new OEM bumper, which was $596. Allstate didn't ask questions nor really cared what I ordered as long as I was a happy customer. The money I saved on the stock OEM bumper was enough to pay for my after market bumper, skirts, and damn near the tail.

Your insurance should cover you, but they don't have to know that you're going with an aftermarket bumper, and they shouldn't care.

i called BMW Bayside,ny and spoke to steve. and he told me i can get mtech body kit for my 2008 535i price was around 1700.00.it include fog light for mtech. then i called BMW Rally and they told me 4500.00 for the kit. what is the difference??

Can i just buy 1700.00 kit from bayside? or do i need more parts to make it work.
