AFAIK, no US based vendors carry this bumper...definitely like this bumper, but I may be biased

Love this bumper. Too bad it isn't sold in the States... made with high-quality materials... carried by, say, Motorcepts?

Thanks Gene! I've spoken to Dennis about that bumper several times by now. He bought it from a German vendor and he's had quite a bit of laborious fitting of it to make it fit "perfectly". But I still love how it looks and I'm 100000% sure it would sell in the States almost on par with the M5tech and M-tech reps, if not better.

If better is probably too strong of suggestion. I personally it's okay because it looks way too much like a 3 series.

How in the friggin WORLD, you figure its a bad thing?!?!?!

I think this style should have been the LCI E60 m sport front! This looks legit for sure. The only things this bumper has going against it, as far as I'm concerned - its too rare, not sold in the States. And second, it reputedly has some fitment issues, which denotes lower quality. But if someone Stateside were to make a high-quality bumper like this, I'd be first in line to buy it!
