Hi guys, I have for trade a replica M-Tech bumper for a 2010 E60 purchased from Trinity Autosports out here in the OC. I am looking for the standard, 528i bumper in the same color, which I believe is Amethyst Gray? Sorry this is my sister's car. As you can see from the pictures, the bumper is too low for her and she's constantly complaining because she's scratched it a few times. So no, its not in perfect condition or anything like that. Hoping to just get a straight trade done if that's possible.

Also looking to trade matte black grilles from Trinity for the standard chrome ones. I don't believe there are any chips after a quick glance.

Local only please, the car is in the IE, around San Bernardino, Riverside, Corona, sometimes Tustin. PM me with any questions thanks.

I've got a complete OEM LCI front bumper that I will be parting out soon - but I'm not local and its painted in a different color.

Good luck with your search!

Ashhong: sorry to break it to you dude, but your sister needs more driving lessons. The clearance for the m5tech is actually about the same as stock. Appearance-wise, it does look lower, but it actually isn't.

Do you know if it really is exactly the same? Maybe its because the corners stick out a bit? It's actually her husband that keeps hitting things, and yea he definitely needs lessons.

I hope this doesnt count as a bump, but is the straight trade a fair price? We arent looking to make money, just want to get a stock bumper so she'll at least stop complaining and blaming the bumper I got her.

pop open the hood and look above the right front fender for the color code. I have two standard front bumpers with PDC. and yes the standard is slightly higher as I find myself scraping a lot more with the MTech.


I just noticed that you are LCI not pre-LCI

I have the same color LCI OEM bumper and I might be interested in trading, but again I am not local. No PDC

BTW, the color code is A52 I believe.

So I looked everywhere in the car for the color code and its not there. It was in an accident before so maybe the body shop painted over it or something. I called the dealer with my VIN and they said its Titanium Silver, but I dont believe it because its waaay darker than my TiAg E46. Anyway, if anybody local wants to take the time to meet up and compare colors etc that would be great. Just PM me or email me at ashhong@gmail.com thanks
