Default Cost of a front bumper

Are the front bumpers still available? As I was told they are £5000+ new just wondered is this correct as that's quite worrying if you hit one!

I was quoted just over £3000 including a 16% discount for a new unpainted front bumper from Cotswold BMW.

MStyle do a copy at £489 inc splitters plus £210 to paint or plus £280 painted and fitted

Which is why I picked up a spare one off eBay earlier in the year. Complete and undamaged, it now hangs in the rafters of my garage just in case. I figured Brexit and the pound sliding isn't going to make them any cheaper.

Worth remembering that most replicas are designed to fit standard M3s so won't fit straight on a CSL. You'll need to buy all the mounting hardware and I'm not sure what you would do about the washer bottle etc.

The two replica bumpers (can't remember the makes unfortunately) I've seen we're floppy, cheap affairs and not something I'd feel confident sticking on the front of my car.
If possible buy a used original and tuck it away, which is what I did.

Currently £3009.84 +VAT full up retail. I'm sure you'd be able to get at least 10% discount if you asked nicely! Does include the carbon flippers, you'd also need to get it painted.

Yes, my spare new one is painted. Also came with new flippers, rubber seals and grills.

'Trim cover, bumper, primered, front' is specified on ETK, although I don't currently have access to the other system which may state otherwise at the point of checking availablity.

I'll have a look tomorrow.
