Hi everyone. Thinking of getting the Rieger front bumper for my Z4 Coupe.
What do you think of this bumper? too JDM?

Any photos that you have of your car with the Rieger body kit will be great to see : ))

It’s German so why the reference to JDM?
Rieger have always made strange looking body kits. Very marmite indeed.
There was a bumper on eBay for sale which was pretty rough but would go again.
Edit here it is

Hideous. But it’s your car do what you like
 
Guess I should be saying GDM :rofl:

It’s strange how it’s going for £800 on eBay when I can pick up one off ml performance for £368.

Is the ML performance a copy?

I believe it’s an original as linked here. £368+£79 for shipping fee.

It’s definelty marmite like j3nks79 said. I think the rest of the body kit is all off. However I like the bulkiness of the bumper on the rest of the car without the kit.

“This makes me think it’s a copy”

Good catch that is. However schmeidmann also list it in a similar price range and they seem reputable enough.

They don’t come with the fog lamps though which I’ve seen go for £300-400 probably explaining the huge decrease in cost

The fog lights look like E92 SE spec fog lights to me.
Should be able to find them on eBay for not a lot of money
 
Like these. Really cheap on eBay

And I’ve not had a good experience with ML. They tried to sell me a Z4M bumper which they didn’t have in stock. Wanted me to pay and said I would have it in 2 weeks. They order from BMW and just add a mark up.
I knew this was a total lie as you can still order them new from BMW but are on back order. With an estimate of 6 to 9 months before you would see it.
 
You’re right 👍 seems a bit dodgy. I think I might just go with the Pre facelift bumper. What do you think j3nks79 for the coupe?

Same. I bought a Rieger rear diffuser from them for like $400 USD. After I didn't hear back from them for almost a month, I sent them an email. They replied saying that they will check. No response. After I sent them 2 more emails asking for a status update (and 2 more generic responses), they finally got back to me and said shipping was too expensive on their end it is an extra $356. They were happy enough to simply take my money and never talk to me again.
 
I'm not a fan of the Rieger parts.

While I love the M bumper they are hard to find and I think you also need an M undertray, but I much prefer the pre-facelift to the facelift one.
