Bumper help

Hi all - new member here and wonder if I can get some help. Just bought my 2nd car and its a nice looking e90 pre LCI 320i (2005.)

The car has 80,000 on the clock and a full service history with one previous owner. or under £2k Im well pleased.

It is in almost perfect cosmetic condition except the front bumper which is fairly heavily scuffed. Therefore I am in the market for a replacement since its cheaper than a respray.

SO... I purchased this bumper ( http://vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayI...1&secureDesc=0 ) and sent the seller my car details to confirm this was correct.

He wrote back saying this wouldnt fit my car and that infact I should be buying this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Painted-F...-/142708391304

My car is a 4 door saloon e90 reg AG55 FKV and Im still convinced that the bumper I originally chose is correct but of course dont want to send the wrong one!

There is another option with washer holes but I dont have any idea how to know if I need these...

Can anyone help?!

Judging by the photos, you have halogen headlights and no washers (xenon only).

You'd want the bumper without washer holes.

Can't help you with your question, but how is buying a new bumper, making sure it fits, painting it and installing it cheaper than a respray of your bumper?

Perfect so the second one then.

Guess now the only question is, are e90 and e91 bumpers int exchangeable? If yes then I’m good to go!

It’s £157 pre painted with installation almost ‘plug and play’

Respray quoted at £350
