The car was in an accident today and the front bumper, grill, headlight and fogs will need to be replaced. I'm thinking this would be a good time to upgrade to an OEM mtech front since they will need to buy a bumper regardless. Does any once know the cost difference (my parts dept is closed)?

Thanks

I believe pricing is the same you could double check on getbmwparts.com they are a sponser on this website & prices are dirt cheap.

It may be about the same price. However, to make it a full OEM Mtech, you will also need to purchase the grills, air guides\ducts, and other necessary hardware. In the end, upgrading the front alone will be about $900-$1000 in parts.

BTW, the grills I'm talking about is not the kidneys, but the grills on the lower part (mouth) of the Mtech bumper.

They want $1000 for all the little parts. The fogs are the biggest cost at $500, are there aftermarket ones I can get for cheaper?

You can get the projector fogs we carry, way better than OEM, for $125.
