Common Questions (People Also Ask)
Will this bumper fit my BMW M3 or M4?
No—this bumper is tailored exclusively for the standard 3 Series E90/E91 models (2006–2008). It will not fit M3 (E90/E92) or M4 vehicles. Please visit a professional body shop to explore M‑Series options.
How hard is it to install an aftermarket bumper?
Installation can be quite complex due to modified mounting points and altered hardware. We strongly recommend professional installation to ensure proper alignment and to avoid damage. If you choose to install it yourself, be prepared for an involved process that may require trimming or bracket modifications.
What should I check before ordering?
- 📸 Compare your grille to our third product image to confirm identical design.
- 🔍 Verify that your car is a 2006–2008 E90/E91 4‑door sedan.
- 📏 Ensure all mounting brackets align; this is not an OEM‑certified part.
