Hi, today is a very bad day for me, i went to work and someone parked on my car bay, and thus, i parked on somewhere else. Soon after i parked my car, about 30 mins later, someone told me that he hit my car with a forklift

I do not think the company will pay for me and i guess i will have to fix this by myself.
It's just the front bumper having scratches and paints are off (should i be glad about this? being hit by a forklift....)
Mine is with M sport kit, and am thinking if i had to fix the bumper, i might go for M3 bumper....

Just want to know if anyone has put M3 bumper on their E92 with M sport kit? hows that looking? will the M3 bumper match the M sport side skirt?
Just afraid it looks weird if i put M3 bumper with the rest of the body kit M Sport.

Any input/photos will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Why wouldn't the company be paying?

Were you at fault parking in an area that you're not suppposed to?

I would fight it so that you are not losing out

someone parked on my car bay and thus i have to park somewhere else, but that is not supposed to be my car bay.
I am also so frustrating too but i guess they will not pay for me as most of the parking spot would say "parking at own risk".....our parking bays are actually within the loading dock area where there will be quite heavy traffic everyday with trucks and forklift moving around.

park at own risk ... that one little disclaimer to destroy your life. GG

m3 front and m side looks fine.

I would speak to your insurance company and see where you stand in terms of liability and whether your company's "park at own risk" sign has any impact.

[fo55il]

I actually think there might be more to it but good luck mate

[Ninjaoz]

did they purposely use a forklift to hit your car as you parked illegally to piss you off? Or was it an accident?

[Ninjaoz]

the sign doesnt mean shit...the accident was between you and the forklift driver.

[CYL]

Thanks all.
I believe the forklift driver will try to push the responsibility to the company as it happened in a workplace? i think he is also worrying about if he has to pay the bill too. haha

Anyway, i hope the company will pay for me, if not, i will think about changing to M3 front. But just worrying if that doesnt look good with the M Sport side skirt....
and if i have to change the front quarter panel too if i change to M3 front?

[fo55il]

no, only front bar. thats it.

paint it and done.

but u will need m3 front bar for the 335 / 323.

the original m3 bar wont fit.

I am checking the photos of M3 front with "M3 front" on 335/325....it seems like they are different?
the real M3 looks wider when you look at the front....?

cause the quarter panel?

[Dsisco]

I would nt bother, if u already have m sport just fix the scratches

[CYL]

actually, may i ask if the panels are different between M3 and M sport?
It seems like for M3, not just the front quarter fender, front bumper, side skirt and rear bumper are different than M sport but also the panels, especially the rear quarter as well?

[Ninjaoz]

personally i'd stick with your original Msports than a M3 wanna-be.

the front and rear 100% wont fit without big chopping. The skirts .... potentially with little work.

sounds like you are getting a deal on original bar ... i saw one on ebay. is that why you are adamant on asking about original?

no no....cause i can buy front & rear bumper + side skirt online, but i feel like even putting these on a 335/325, they dont look similar to the photo of a real M3 with its body kit? the real M3 seems look differently, especially the rear fender, as it looks more outward?
there is still aftermarket front fender available on the internet, but i do not think that there is any for the rear fender? as it seems to be part of the whole body..

[fo55il]

big $$$ if you want to do that.

forget that.

[lemonpark]

real M3 front and rear is wide body and our 335's aren't, hence they came out with the M3 front for 325/335. I personally think the M3 front with M Sport side and M Sport rear looks fine and I'm also considering doing it later on.

yeah, just want to confirm that they are different.
cause i am thinking if the main body structure kit is different, i may not go for M3 front too. No point doing it if it (changing to M3 front) doesnt really give that M3 wide body look.
and thinking if it is so weird to put the M3 front (supposed to match with the wider body kit) on my E92 325i...

I saw a couple of people doing M3 front and M3 side skirt, look good on the picture, but i am a bit worried about the actual result....that's why i want to know if the main body kit between M3 and our 3ers are different.

So, from my sight, i think the main difference between M3 and 3ers is the rear quarter panel? M3 one looks more outward and this panel couldnt be changed as it is part of the main body, whereas the front fender is possible to change and there are aftermarket products available on the internet.

If i had to change to M3 front, i would go with M3 side skirt too, not sure if going for the rear bumper as well.

[fo55il]

lol - will look forward to your build.

[CYL]

i quite like the M3 side skirt by the way.

interested in changing this but still thinking if changing only the M3 front & side skirt will not match to my E92 325i as they are supposed to be with wide body M3
