Wanted Z3 M front bumper piece

[Epic]

Hi,
I am in search for someone who has a broken front M bumper. I need the left side platstic guide that lines up the bumper when mounted on the car. (Pic attached, don’t know how to call it)
It’s important that it comes from a M bumper, standard ones are different.

I don’t think it ever was. It’s glued to the bumper (plastic soldered), I could not identify it as a separate part on realoem. The bumper I have is intact except that mounting bracket

I've looked at RealOEM - and I agree with you. It would need to come from a damaged M bumper.

Dam I thought I might have tracked something down early hours this morning but looking again…..

But looking at that part number on Realoem it’s for a 1.9?

Thinking out of the box, do you think it’s possible to fit onto your damaged side the bracketry that attaches to the bumper and what that attaches to from a Z3 number being so they are cheap as a make do for now untill you can find a decent secondhand ///M bumper.

Is the right side bracket a mirror of the left? If so possible to have it 3D scanned and printed, I’ve seen companies in England offering this services but most likely at a price and a new original would be a princely sum of €923.69 excluding delivery https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/51110307535/panel-bumper-primed-front

No secondhand bumpers on uk eBay at the moment.

The one from your link seems to be the corect one.

I already have one bracket sourced from a 1.9 bumper (picture on the left) and it is different than the one on the M bumper (picture on the right). I circled the main differences. It also doesn’t fit the bumper perfectly, it sits a little bit odd when placed on the bumper.

The one in your link seems identical to the one I have on the bumper.
Could it be a difference because of the production year, and not the model?

Also another diference is that the one from 1.9 bumper has the part number on it, the one from M bumper does not.

I only need the left side bracket, bumper is already repaired but bracket was completly lost


It does not matter if it’s from a M bumper or any other as long as it’s the corect model (like pictures above)

BluTac/ 3M double sided tape?

I’d be surprised if the ///M bumper fixing guide is different to any other z3 one as the front bumpers are all entirely interchangeable

I have an idea so its the bit thats bonded to the bumper thats different.
So why not get both parts ( bit on bumper and bit on car ) off of say a 6cyl and bond one onto your bumper fit other bit on car then they will match .
As the bonnets are the same so bumper should marry up still as must be same shape around headlight and bonnet lower edge.
Just a suggestion.
Stephen.

 

[Epic]

Not a bad idea. The good thing is that I have the bit that is mounted on the car. I will try to test this week. Didn’t think of that

 

[Epic]

Still looking. The part I have does not fit, it’s not alligning proper on the bumper .
So, anyone having a broken bumper and is willing to but the piece out?

Thanks!

Bump! No broken bumpers around?

You could try and contact Artiom Blinov, he's a reliable Z3M breaker from Lithuania. Maybe he has a broken bumper where the parts can be cut off.

Thanks for the hint. I contacted with him but unfortunately the bumper he has is damaged on the same side . Anyhow it was worth the try.

 

[Epic]

Still looking. The one I’m interested in is the one on the right in the picture, actually from the left of the bumper (passenger side for rhd)
