Where to buy OEM Euro bumper?
Got some small cracks on my current bumper so I thought it would be a good time to upgrade to the Euro one, PN# 51118043960.
Saw ECS have some coming in in July and it was $749, but holy another $350 for shipping and tax. Is there any other places where I can get this for a little cheaper? Only other place I know have this is IND which would cost $1550 shipped. I imagine this is probably not a part that you can get from dealership easily since it's Euro spec?

I feel like I should know this, but is the difference between euro and US only the absence of reflector cut-outs? In the market as well. Getbmwparts has US Spec for $709 and I'm local, so presumably no shipping. They also have decent free shipping deals, so maybe it's worth checking out.

Thanks; hadn't thought about the holes being a potential area for fitment issues. Good point! To my earlier message, being local won't get me around shipping from Tischer, which makes sense since they likely are having the part shipped from Europe or somewhere else.

Euro comes with or without washer nozzles, you need to order correct one. Reflectors are the only difference vs US OEM. I got my Euro from iND, great service as always.

I tried contacting Aeuroplug 3 different ways through Instagram, their website, and their phone number and have not heard anything back. I wanted to get the replica through Aeuroplug since they are local to me and I heard they can get it painted already. Edit: just checked my Instagram and they responded… must've been on vacation for the recent holiday lol |

iND got great service but they do charge a premium for some of the product. Some of the European parts website sell the OEM bumper for about 650 Euro, that's including 19% VAT, so for export without VAT it would be about 550 Euro which is 580USD at the current rate, and that's retail not wholesale. Not saying ECS is definitely OEM but the price is believable IMO. Did you decide to go with Aeuroplug?

If you are worried about fitment issues on Genuine OEM BMW vs. aftermarket: Don't. Every person I have asked has had no issues with fitment. At least, no more than the Genuine BMW ones (which are not perfect, apparently)

Not sure how IND sources it but they truly do have "in stock". I wanted OEM and didn't want to wait - had to pay the full price + pandemic shipping and unpainted The same money a couple of years earlier would have included paint.
Hope the other vendor comes through for you! |

Purchased mine from aeuroplug last month and got it painted/installed a few days ago. Fitment is spot on and shipping only took a week or so since it was being delivered by a third-party courier.

OEM is discontinued here in Toronto, not sure where else you can find an OEM one but if you can, better get it asap!
