Never heard that one before but I think I'll use it from now on
You are right in that the bumper is designed as a cosmetic upgrade however the openings on either side are larger than factory which will help direct more air into those ducts for the intake and oil cooler. It's a form and function feature of the bumper although you cannot expect 15-20HP gains from the increased air flow that's for sure. |

Vorsteiner had their front bumper cover on Badfish's car at the Premier meet today. I think it looks great in person, but I prefer a clean look that only someone who knows about the cars will notice. It really appealred to me on that level. But if you want something aggressive or radical then it's definitely not for you. I personally don't like the Ericsson because it doesn't match the rest of the car. Even if you do the Ericsson sideskirts and rear bumper it looks out of place. Just MHO.

I would like to see this Vorsteiner bumper with splitters intead of the race lip... I like the way it integrates the lip into the bumper without looking add-on. |

There are a lot of subtle changes that aren't easy to see in that bumper... Getting rid of the reflectors was big to me as well as having a lip/splitter that was replaceable and integrated. I like being able to use the OEM lower grill, those cheap flat metal hardware store grills just don't look right to me.

I think they should've done something different ... Why would you want E46 M3 looking front lip to have on your new car ? It looks like they are trying to fit old e46 look on new e92
Here is e46 M3 front lip from Vorsteiner's website doesn't it look the same ? |

I ended up going with the RD Sport Bumper... It was a close call between the VRS and the RD Sport but ultimately went RD. Both are nice pieces and I personally like products that look like they could be OEM instead of Ricer Way Out There Look.
