Im thinking of change the look of my Pre-LCI 325i car by installing a M3 bumper or Mtech, but im worried about how low they will be to the ground as I use my own ramps to complete my own servicing, and as it is with the stock bumper Im close to scraping whilst driving up them

M3 bumper Im looking is below.



Anyone with stock suspension, 18" alloys care to tell me how much closer the M3 bumper/mtech bumper is to the ground.

And and if an Mtech rear bumper can accommodate a tow bar.

Thanks


Dont hate on me for M3 bumper its just a cosmetic appearance not as though Ive got M3 fenders and bonnet bulge...

why not just use some planks of wood in front of the ramps to make the angle shallower ?

The ramps look like this and near the top the retraining bar is close to touching the bumper.

Like these



And also in general parking concrete stoppers are annoying close to the height of the bumper...

Then you will need to learn to adjust the way you park, pull into certain places, and maybe change the style of ramp you use. I haven't been able to clear the height of a parking lot concrete stopper in 10 years. The M Sport and M3 bumpers are both taller, but don't let that stop you from getting a better looking bumper! I built my ramps for my 335i when I was on the lowest setting of Bilstein PSS10 coils.
