Wondering if anyone knows somewhere online where you can buy used bumper covers etc for less than what it would cost going through BMW. I got a quote to replace mine for $1200CDN from a local body shop. The problem isn't so noticeable as to spend that kind of money but it does bug me.

 

Front or rear? Base or s? It looks like parts geek has aftermarket replacements for base model and rear for the s. Its been my experience with other cars that the non OEM bumpers are actually pretty damn good fitment wise, better than non oe metal parts like fenders etc. If not I think mini of Atlanta has them for around 330

 

Thanks I'll check out parts geek. Its a base cooper rear bumper cover. Should also mention I'm in Canada.

I've found a few on ebay in the past but the shipping costs to Canada makes it unsuitable.

 

If you can/want to retrofit a rear bumper from an S, I have one in 9.5/10 condition!

 

May want to check the NAM market. That's where I got one.

 

Since you will need to get it painted, try asking a local body shop...they might be able to order it, and paint it with you paint code....so you could just drive by, and pick it up...most body shops in the us usually use aftermarket bumper covers unless the custmer/insurance company specfies otherwise....so just be sure to tell the body shop you are paying for it, and negogate the $$.
