M3 Rep or MTech?
Im looking to upgrade the rear bumper on my e90 lci and I'm having trouble in deciding whether to go with the M3 replica bumper or the MTech bumper. Any of your opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

M-tech. It's not an M3. While the M3 rep looks good, I think an M-tech with a diffuser is far more appropriate for the car if you want an aggressive look.

I was recently faced with this decision, I ended up choosing mtech front and rear. The m3 bumper is nice but I feel like it doesn't work as well on a non M car that doesn't have aggressive fenders and what not like the m3 (hope that makes sense).

This.
I would just browse the PHOTO/MEDIA section and really take the time to look at each bumper. Then get a better idea of which bumper YOU like. I mean, you would never start a thread asking people how to dress yourself, would you? Because at the end of the day, you're buying this for yourself, not for the approval of some strangers on the internet.

IMO E90 PRE LCI = M3, LCI = M Sport.

I bought M3 Reps for my car(install in Spring), but like some of our fellow members seem to assume, I'm not trying to pass my car off as an M3, I just dig the lines. Last I checked that wasn't a crime. I just think they're much better looking than the MTechs. Now if I ever stick an ///M or M3 badge on my 325, then yes, call me out on it, I insist!, but that'll never happen. Hell, I have Alpina B7 Rep wheels and refuse to put the Alpina Badges on them. Yep, they've got BMW badges, but that's for uniformity. Haha, I can already feel the burn with this post, but that's cool, it's all part of the fun.

I love my M-tech front and back. Upgrading the back to CF diffuser, but the front is just so aggressive in my mind. Looks hot in alpine white
