How many different front bumpers are there?

[Jasn]

I know the 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder Z3s have different front bumpers, but (apart from the M) how many OEM variations were there? I am looking (in Australia) for a bumper cover as mine's pretty badly damaged. Were the bumpers the same on the early 2.8L models as on the later 6-cylinder models? They look similar to me in photos, but I am looking for an exact match (for my 2.0). Looking up realOEM shows numerous part numbers, but I assume some are just related to paint colours etc. Anyone know for sure?

No idea, mate. Someone on here is bound to point you in the right direction.

3 OEM bumpers to my knowledge.

4 cylinder engines - no side lights as they were in the headlight unit, and a thicker lower lip in the middle of the bumper
(Ignore the AC Schnitzer front corner parts as these are an extra)




6 cylinder - have sidelights integrated into the corners and a thinner centre bottom lip.




Z3M - There own bumper

Some of the various part numbers in RealOEM may be due to some cars having headlight washers fitted and other not.

There was also the Aero bumper but you don't see many of them. If you have a 2.0 then any from the 6 cylinder model will do, but some have headlight washers and some don't.
