Excellent video,very clear explanations and not too much talking like most of the youtubers do.I have 1 question,the bumper is not really secured with anything,right?,just pressed on,so it would be very easy to steal or fall while driving.
I have it connected to the under tray and then a bolt on each corner connecting to the fenders. I’ve had the bumper on the car daily driven since this video was made and no issue For a Rep non oem bumper it fits good !
Hi i got a M3 bumper on my e46 coupe but when i bought it it didn’t have the inside panels ( the plastic ) does the inside panel in plastic dont fit on the M3 bumper
Hello, greetings, I'm from Puerto Rico, where or how did you get the foglamp? I have a convertible 325ci with that bumper but I'm missing the foglamp, thank you and success.
We have the under tray attached to the bumper holding it in place I’ve driven a good 20k km since this video and have wrapped the car 4 different colours never once has the bumper came loose while driving
hey man I really appreciate if you reply to this, I have a non m3 e46 and am looking to buy a m3 bumper but I'm stuck between buying a replica one or an oem one. Does the poem one fit perfectly compared to other reps.
The issue with oem m3 bumpers is on the m3 they have wider fenders so it won’t properly fit on a non m model unless you buy the m3 fenders along with it For our models the rep bumpers will give you the best fitment Just try to make sure you find a reputable website or auto shop to buy it from and you should have any issues
@@ArcticAutoStyling thank you so much man, I’ve heard the mr body kits Qld is fantastic, and I’m in Australia and they sell m3 styled non m3 front bumpers on there website for my coupe e46 non m3. should this fit?
Of course I appreciate you checking out our videos but Yes if you have a coupe you will need a coupe specific bumper I believe the sedans line up differently
@@ArcticAutoStyling no worries I’ll definitely subscribe to stay tuned, one more question. I want to convert most of it to an m3 such as the front bumper, skirts,rear bumper and the trunk. Can they all be replicas to?
The authentic m3 side skirts should fit but the rear you will have to buy a conversion bumper as the rear quarter panel on an m3 is wider than a non m The trunk I would suggest getting the CSL carbon trunk I have a video on the install But to my knowledge only the oem bumpers are the only part that won’t fit a non m Everything else is interchangeable
Hi mate please reply i think i got same rep bumper as you from protuning in lativa. My grill also doesnt fit with bashbar i tried cutting most of the top plastic off even a few tabs and still doesnt work. I'm lost
Can’t find the link I found it off FB marketplace I paid $350 cash for the bumper and fogs. I know there’s a store called extreme parts They have everything

@@ArcticAutoStyling ok perfect,thank you!
Since you fitted the cash bar on first how did you secure the bumper cover to the crash bar??
don't bother doing it that way there is no point and its way harder. waste of time
@@wooltrouserslover777 tf you mean? You want your bumper to fall off? Those clamps on the side only won't hold your bumper
@@Streetlegalboyssick reading comprehension
@@Streetlegalboysdid you fix this?
Have had the bumper on for the whole time driven it across Canada never even came close to falling off
Saw the thumbnail and instantly thought it went from being sad to being happy
😂😂
Excellent install vid!! Too many haters in these comments 😂😂😂 keep up the great work G!
HAHA thanks so much I'm still moving along appreciate the kind words
Hi i got a M3 bumper on my e46 coupe but when i bought it it didn’t have the inside panels ( the plastic ) does the inside panel in plastic dont fit on the M3 bumper
Can you show how yall secured the bumper to the bar?
It’s not properly secured if you really wanted you could rip it off all I did want bolt the bumper to the under tray
What year model bmw curious about brake ducts to address big openings at bottom of bumper to avoid turning vehicle into clown car???
2000 323ci
Why didn't you show how to bolt it in? What bolts to use?
I just had it clipped in and i put the bolts in the fender liner to hold it. Years later i haven't had an issue
Your OEM bumper brace had those plastic push rivets. How did you place the new bumper on? Does the upgrade bumper come with push rivets?
I just bolted the bumper onto the fender liner
Does it fit on the facelift models too?
Need to be sure before buying one..
I don’t believe the bumper matters since it fits under the headlights
Will m3 wings fit non m3 e46? Without changing bumper M
Yes you will need a real M3 bumper for them to fit properly
Would I have to get this repainted at a shop to my car's color?
Yes if your car isn’t black or white it’s hard to match with vinyl wrap
Our car was jet black so the gloss black vinyl wrap matched close enough
@@ArcticAutoStyling Bet! Thank you! And amazing tutorial!
Thank you appreciate you dropping in !!
You can buy m3 style front bumpers that fit standard e46 cant you?
Yes that’s what this bumper is
Hello, greetings, I'm from Puerto Rico, where or how did you get the foglamp? I have a convertible 325ci with that bumper but I'm missing the foglamp, thank you and success.
You should be able to order them on amazon or ebay
Nice, are you from toronto or canada?
Toronto !
@@ArcticAutoStyling Yeah Im from here too I could tell by the accent, im glad it isint over faked like most toronto mans wannabes lol
Just moved to the east coast!!
Should it also fit the convertible 330ci ?
Yes will be the exact same install process
@@ArcticAutoStyling Thanks alot
Where did you purchase bumper ? Any link ?
I found this on market place but if you look on eBay you’ll find them too
Will it fit on a facelift coupe?
To my knowledge the bumpers are the same it’s just the fenders headlights and hood that are different
no 3 screws in the middle of the crash bar and bumper?
bro racing machine needs to be simply for pitstop 😂😂😂
Did the fog lights just plug in oem?
Yes just plug and play
Bei diesen umbau muss der Kühlerträger vom M 3 verbaut werden
would this fit a 2004 325ci vert? 😺
Yes they have coupe conversion bumper and vert/ coupe bumpers
So no screws to keep it holding ? Jeez wonder if that will fall off while driving 🫠
We have the under tray attached to the bumper holding it in place
I’ve driven a good 20k km since this video and have wrapped the car 4 different colours never once has the bumper came loose while driving
How did it go putting the grill back in? Did it fit nicely back in?
Had to do a bit of trimming but we got her in snug !
Hello how do you do for the brake air intake?
My car didn’t have them

Hi mate please reply i think i got same rep bumper as you from protuning in lativa. My grill also doesnt fit with bashbar i tried cutting most of the top plastic off even a few tabs and still doesnt work. I'm lost
For the grill to fit I had to cut a few inches of the rubber away on the fan along with the tabs on the grill
@@ArcticAutoStyling Ah i would like to see but it's to much work for you to show what you cut :D
Message me on our Instagram I’ll send you a video
Hey! Do u have a link to the fog lights you got for this?
I bought the fog lights with the bumper
Both them came from a local shop that sold a bunch of aftermarket parts
Where did u buy it?
local shop I found on Facebook Marketplace
Your bumper sconde how price
$350 cad
the bumper will come off when you drive backwards
It’s never come off once since this was posted!!
Where did you buy this bumper?
Link in my IG bio
How did u get it paint matched, did u install it to make sure it fit and then you paint matched it ?
We vinyl wrapped the bumper gloss black
@@ArcticAutoStyling did u vinyl wrap it with the bumper on ?
Yes I find bumpers are easier to wrap on cars
@@ArcticAutoStyling how much did it cost for a shop to do it?
We do all the work ourselves typically for a bumper wrap you’re looking at $400-$500
where did you get the bomber
A local car parts store in Toronto, Canada
Nice IS300😊
Very nice for sure ;)
TOO BAD, THE CONCEPT LOOKS GOOD, BUT THE END RESULTS IS THAT THEY HAVE PRODUCED A BUMPER THAT DOES NOT FIT A E46
It fit mine just fine I’ve driven across the country with it no problem
Where did you order the bumper from?
I got it from a local shop in Scarborough we
Are from Toronto Canada
You can get them online just look up m3 conversion bumper
Yea I’m in Sauga. Most the ones I’ve found online are from the states… Can you link the shop you got it from? Appreciate it.
Can’t find the link I found it off FB marketplace
I paid $350 cash for the bumper and fogs.
I know there’s a store called extreme parts
They have everything
This could be a great channel but you need to invest in a mic and turn down the music. Otherwise nice video
Appreciate it thank you for the feed back we will definitely look into this
So you don’t need to get the brackets
No
Nice 👍🏾
Thanks for watching
actually like the old one better
It’s not bad just not the style we are trying to go with
Old bumper is better .
Only because it's painted
@@naushadsheik1662not by a mile
Personally I like the old..the m3 style is too common nowdays
that is not a M3 bumper
It’s an e46 m3 conversation bumper
It’s meant to fit on the non M platforms !
You down graded
Explain how
where did you get this bumper?
From a parts store in Toronto
