$$ of stock vs mtech bumper

Bmw3thirty5 · 08-09-2013, 09:45 AM

My rear bumper was hit and my
Bumper will be replaced by his insurance. If I have the shop order the bumper from BMW, is the mtech the same price as stock bumper? Or should I take the check and just order an mtech myself?

How much is the check? M-tech's are about ~$250-$300 more than stock. It's funny how I got hit at the EXACT same spot lol.

is it possible to ask the shop you'll pay the difference? I know local shops here in my town would do that.

You should be able to request a check so that you can take the car where you want.

I'm taking the check for sure. They estimated me 1836.00 for this hahahah.

if your going to do it through insurance, find a place that will order you a Mtech instead of OEM. they will just charge the insurance company. (OEM bumpers will be the same price as replica mtech/m3 fronts)

just please try anything else but oem.

Golden! Yes, tell the shop to order it and you can pay the difference. I would order the m-tech rear and front painted. DIY install and you might be able to pocket some extra money.

Already have plans. Mtech rear and m3 side skirts painted and installed for 1000
