Front and Rear Bumpers for Early E46 M3 fitment confirmation

I ordered my aluminum carrier euro bumper from Schmiedmann. At the time it was cheaper than ECS. IMO it's a much cleaner look than US spec with painted reflectors.

One other thing, I’m kind of surprised more people don’t do this, but you can just shave / fill the holes for the reflectors. Any decent body shop can do that. I why don’t people just do that?

If you're starting from scratch, just buy the euro bumper. In fact, at one point at least, it was cheaper than the u.s. version.

Yea I bought mine because I needed a new bumper for an insurance claim, and at that time, it was indeed cheaper than stock. But if it's not anymore, and you're going to paint it anyway...

Honestly, not a fan of the CSL front bumper.

I also prefer the look of the Euro non CSL front bumper
