'03 M3 OEM front bumper on '03 facelift E46 sedan?
Quick question: Will an original M3 OEM front bumper easily install on an '03 325i Touring (4 door sedan body)?
I was looking for an Mtech-II front bumper, but I came across a used M3 front bumper from the same model year... do I need any extra parts, brackets, welding (hope not!)?
TIA

I guess it doesnt fit since there is a sedan specific bumper.
where did you find the m3 bumper ? I'm looking for one myself.

I think the OEM M3 Bumper is wider than the sedan.
DIY: M3 front bumper retrofit for E46 Facelifted Sedans by adrian320
I've heard another approach to doing this, which involves no cutting. Perhaps the outcome is not as good, but maybe they bend the bumper into place.
