Mtech or M3 rep front bumper?

Spongeb0bRoundPants · 06-07-2018, 11:05 AM

Hey, I have an e92 335i and am deciding to get a new front bumper; I was wondering which one do you guys prefer/ think looks better, the mtech or M3?
Thanks!

I got the M3 rep for my car, it's great but there aren't many splitter options.

IMO, m3 Rep looks better on e92 and m sport for e90.

IMO an m3 bumper belongs on an M3

techietaichi · 06-07-2018, 05:46 PM

Bah, that's elitist. If it looks good on your car and you dig it enough to drop that cash, why the fuck not? I installed M3 styled front and rear bumper covers and side skirts on my 325i and would do it again. It just made my ride look so much better. Ok, you can start the flame now, that's the best part!!!

i installed my m3 rep couple weeks ago

LOVE IT !!!

Here is what mine looks like.

I have a M3 on my car and I like it. I used to always think it looked better than the Mtech but now a days I think the Mtech looks better lmao. Thing that sucks about it also is there are no lip options(only 2) for it like the Mtech, where it has atleast 10 lol. I will probably end up switching to mtech at some point.

eljay · 06-07-2018, 08:47 PM

Are there any M tech reps that are known to be a good fit?

I agree, as long as you like it who cares what others think

Nope. I ordered it without fogs.

Denny347 · 06-09-2018, 05:42 PM

I always had a soft spot for the M3 rep w/o fogs....

Im8Up · 06-10-2018, 01:05 PM

M3 rep here. Looks 1000% better than the stock front end. I have to agree not many options for the m3 I went with the carbon fiber lip as that was the only option I could find at the time.

KClemente · 06-10-2018, 07:21 PM

Don't M3 bumpers (on E90's) allow more airflow into the intercooler than the M-Sport bumpers? I have the M3 rep on my E90 and it only makes sense that the big front duct helps with more airflow

I would agree with this too. The larger vent is beneficial. Maybe there is some data out there to support this.

You do realize there are E90 (sedan) M3s?

Different lights, wings, bonnet, etc. A totally different look that goes with that bumper.
