How many of you would be interested in purchasing an M3 Bumper made to fit the Contours?
I have a good source here in Chicago who is willing to do this for us, of course provided that there is a certain number of people who would be willing to do this.
As of now,
THIS IS ONLY AN INTEREST CHECK. I am doing this to gather info and take it from there.
There is no info on price, ETA, or numbers needed to start this GB. Like I said, this is only an interest check.
My fellow Chicago CEGer Mike is gonna provide you with the pics of how this will probably look like. I think you will agree that he did a fantastic job too.
Thanks again Mike!!!
Thanks guys!
M3 contours would be sweet! i wish i had a post 98.
Pimp bumpers!
I would need to know how much before doing this.
i would be in for the summertime!!!!!!
Definately interested, although the price would be a factor. That looks amazing.
How bout the S4 bumper too mikey??????
intrested here..... How bout we talk package deal for the lights and the bumper???
I'M IN, depending on the craftsmanship.
Eric
Interest!~! Price depending as well!~! But deffinatly interested!~!

Already being done, "search" around for another group buy, set up by another CEG'er that goes by hellahydro.
better yet, here's the link
I would be interested since I missed out on the hella GB, all depends on price
WOW heck with the hella this front end is NICE ,if the front end looks like that and the rear looks as nice ? I guess i will end up with 2 body kits .
Mikeyboy your Photoshop talents overwhelm me, If you even need any photoshop stuff Please let me know as i have 5,6,7 and all plugins and another 12 gig in Graphix apps.
I hope these bumpers come out nice !!, depending on the price and how soon we can get them , i might have to drop my spot in the other GB .
Definitely interested. Price will do a lot though for true feasability of purchase for me. Is feasability a word??
Need a price estimate first. Looks great though!
I am very interested as long as these will be for PRE 98's.

thanks and thanks. i have a cousin that works for adobe so i have the whole product line. it is funny because i am a graphic design major and we are not allowed to "fake" pictures. these bodykit pics are my release.

You are one lucky SOB ........wow

I am interested depending on the details.
you drop your spot Citation and you let me know cause I will take it!
ANd yes I am interested in this as well!
Yeah well if the front looks like that in Mikeyboys pic all i can say is WOW .....the Hella front piece doesnt even offer a spot for running lights UNLESS you mount a stupid bracket to it ...YUCK
interested, will there be a back bumper cover and any idea on the price now that there is gobs of interest? thanks

why don't you just sell your spot if your so unhappy with Hella kit!
all i hear you do is complain about it.
Interested depending on price.
I would be very interested
Jason
Definetely interested! Would look especially good with a set of those projector lights.
Price is an issue also.
That would look SWEET with my PIAA 510s !

I didnt say i was unhappy with the KIT , im a little unhappy about the front . Why dont you mind your own business for now on . What i decide to do is my choice.
Besides i like the rear and the sides of the Kit .
I cant get the Pic to load!
hmm , let me see if i can host this pic.
Hey Milan I'd be interested in this.....let me know
here is another shot of the bumper..........
thanks to JVT for the car.
talk!talk!I have the money to buy a kit
and still no kits available!PM me when you have the
product made and ready to sell!don,t take it personnal,
just would like to see more kits produced and not talked
about.
HAHAHA
Looks like we got the number Milan, Im sure more will jump on the bandwagon. Let see some numbers!
There are several things I would like to say:
1st, Terry is a good friend of mine. He has spent over a year working on the Hella Kit. I don't wanna hear bad stuff written about him. I did not know that his GB was not finished yet, as I would have waited to announce this had I known. I trully feel terrible about it.
2nd, I AM NOT OFFERING A KIT!! This is only the front bumper. I AM NOT MAKING SIDESKIRTS, THE REAR BUMPER or anything else. Just the front bumper.
3rd, IF YOU ARE IN TERRY'S GB, DO NOT get your money back counting on this bumper to happen. As of now, anything is possible. It can be made or it may not if there is not enough people that want it. I cannot state as of this minute that this is definatelly gonna happen. This is totally up to you guys. GBs are tough.
4th, If this ends up happening, I don't see it becoming available until at least June or July. Of course, we will see what happens.
Thanks for the interest, and I hope all will work itself out.
Thnaks for the Pic mikey! I am in on this, if it happens!
I'M IN!!!!!!!!! just in case you missed me the first time.. damn that thing is SWEET!
Eric
home of the infamous ALLIGATOR ALLEY
that thing is so sweet I'll pay now even if it doesn't ever get done.
i am interested, would like to know price but am definitley interested
Interested!!! I really hope this happens. This is the best looking bumper I've seen!
Holy shiot that looks badass.
Im in on this are they for the pre-98 too?
I am gonna wait a few more days and see how much interest there actually is. Then I am gonna go over some numbers with my buddy. We'll see how much this will cost and what we are actually looking at...
Very interested baring that price warrants it.
(bumper would be very conducive to a FMIC!)
I'm interested, pending price.
HEY THE BUMPER IS OFF THE HOOK! WHATS SOME NUMBERS ON IT!
what about foglights?
would stock ones fit? what about the PIAA 510s?
or, would new lights come with the bumper
I am guessing that the fogs wont come with the bumper. Hopefully they will be able to include a bracket with the bumper so we can mount them though. I think Milan has some custom projector fogs on the drawing board for our cars. Maybe he can work something out as an extra option.
Quicksilver, if you make this thing happen you'll be the baddest MoFo since um the guy who invented NOS, yea that's it.
Eric
YEA i want that bumper, but i want to know about fog lights too~~~~
No info on the fogs yet guys. I am pushing to have Hella projector fogs built in. They are very compact, about 2 times smaller than our OE fogs. I am about to install them on my car very soon. The light output is like no other fog light I have ever seen. Though they come with a 55w H3 bulb, they are extremely powerful. Of course, you can always upgrade the bulbs too. They retail for about $90.
I am gonna of course try to offer the bumpers with or without them for everyone's convinience.
Sweet deal Milan, you can put me down for a bumper and the fogs! if you get it worked out! Your the MAN!
i am interested of course like many the price may be a factor
How much and where do I send the check. Very Interested.
IM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS GROUP BUY TOO!
Definetly interested the bumper is tight.
Hey there,
Here's a suggestion for the bumper I can't buy
(I recently, reluctantly, sold my SVT)
If you can make the mold from an actual M3 bumper. Try and make it so that the stock BMW lights, grills, and such, fit into the holes.
BMW Fogs .
NOW....Before anyone thinks... But I don't like the look of the BMW bits. Remember that there is a strong aftermarket for the M3. Because of this, The bumper could be further personalized with readily available parts. Parts you could order the day you take delivery of your milan M3 bumper.
I'm partial to the Hamman fog light inserts myself. Although I'm sure the Hamman bits are pricey. Also if the bottom edge was the same you could ad a chin-spoiler thingy like the Hamman/Snitzer cars have. Probably expensive as well?
Hamman pics AC Schnitzer pics OH CHRIST! never mind that Hamman fog light insert kit costs like $499! And the Schnitzer spoiler cost over $1500!!! But there are others?
The point is......yes I have one.
It would make your product more appealing if there were easy ways to MOD on top of your MOD?
Potential Baby!!! Some people love to spend money.
Just thought since you haven't made it Yet, It may be worth looking into.
I think i might be in also , but then i got to see the price and so on .
Excellent point dude.
I really dont care as long as it looks like the one in the photochop
Lets make this a reality!!! i want this
I have come to an easy conclusion that there is overwhelming interest present.
So the good news is - THIS THING IS MOVING FORWARD!
I a couple of weeks I am gonna start taking deposits for the bumper. This is all I can say for now. We are yet to determine the price on this, as we do not know yet how difficult it will be to make the M3-Contour bumper.
Lets stay positive and optimistic, and one day this thing will be a reality.
Great news
Will an estimated price be determined before a deposit is required?
I am all for the BMW bits mod too! good idea! Where do we send the $$?

you have never been confused for a genius i bet. this is so awesome and even more awesome that since i helped out they will make me a one of pre 98 M3 bumper. thanks man.
Need a Donor Car?????????????
Originally posted by MarkusSVT:

My thoughts exactly
any luck in getting one of these to fix on a 99 mystique w/o a hefty price added on?
I would be interested in one if the price is right!
Originally posted by MarkusSVT:

I most definately will be needing a Donor Car. Whoever is interested please contact me.
The price will be estimated at the time the deposits are to be taken. I am gonna do all I can to keep the price to a bare minimum, but at the same time the quality has to be immaculate. Quality costs money.
well... since i was the first to pipe up... could i be the first??????? Let me know Milan... i would definately be interested.... And i am only about 3 hours away... In the Mich..
Im interested depending on price.
Actually I need my car for daily transportation. So unless my car is REALLY needed, someone else can donate their car.

I'm definitly interested because I like the svt sideskirts and rear > count me in
Hell, I might just buy an SVT again just for the bumper. That is soo sweet.
Would this be made of ABS plastic or fiberglass or carbon fibre even? Just wondering there.
<<< JUST FYI~ I'm still interested!~!
me too but can i imoprt in to the uk
or these m3 bumper cut and shut to fit or proper moulding???
Please message me with answers
Cheers Paulcr
Is this post dead, I really hope not, this bumper would be a very nice addition to an allready sweet ass car!!!
Dead? Im pretty sure this buy is everything but dead. Just waiting on more info from Milan
I have to see this thing take off, before I throw the cash
at it
the rumors of this bumpers demise have been greatly exagerated.
I am very interested, pleake kepp me informed through PM's or through e-mail (
Qwk98svt@aol.com) and let me know price!
-Jeff-
maybe the pre 98 guys might be lucky and get an M3 bumper too.
oh yeah and morette lights.
Milan,
haven't heard much from you in a while, any update on where we stand? thanks
Moose
I agree, what is going on with this GB? I am still interested...
The no new info part is making me loose interest..........
Yeah i would like in on this as well .
citation aren't you on the Post 98 GB body kit as well?
Anyhow guys just chill....it takes some time to get the logistics done and see if this is feasible.
Yes im in on the other one man , but im not sure when i will get it and i need something on my car FAST ,so if this comes avaliable quicker then maybe i can ditch the one from the GB and sell it .....we'll see what comes first.
the hella kit will be done before this so dont "ditch" anything.

Couldn't have said it any better man...
I know you guys are excited, and believe me, I am too. But please understand that it is gonna take a long while before the final details are in place.
The bumpers are nowhere near to one another, so it is gonna take lots of time to develop a bumper like this.
If I don't have any new info, I am not gonna post anything. This only makes everyone excited.
Sit tight, relax and keep your fingers crossed that we can pull this one off. It is gonna be a battle, and that is the only definite as of now.
I love that bumper, I'm defiantly interested.
Mat
i want one i want one get back @ me
oh by the way mike if i cant get the m3 bumper can i buy off u ur pre 98 i hope im first @ asking u
thanks for the interest, but i dont know that i am selling it yet, and there are a few peeps in front of you. sorry.
will in that case i hope i can get this m3 bumper unless there anyone else out there that has a pre98 getting this m3 ill be checking time to time or email me to
pnicelovnyc@yahoo.com thanks guy if ill get the m3 depending on price...
very interested
and I'm in with Hella, but if the price is much less I may just settle for this badboy and cough over my bodykit to someone else. I've spent to much money on this damn car already
Originally posted by mikey boy:

thanks to JVT for the car.
... And the wheels and the SVT-badged grille ... Nice, nice, nice!
So, can you tell me about the wheels and the grille, too?
Same here, any updates on the front bumper and is it gonna be for pre-98 as well..
JUST FYI... <<<< still interested!!!
And great photoshop pics!!!
I like!!!!!!!!!!!
im losing interest with the lack of information with this. Are we gonna do it or not? i really want to know, b/c if not, im gonna go ahead and buy my SVT kit or either SVT kit w/o front, and get in on the non-SVT mirko splitter GB. dont lose a potential sale here.
where can i get this bumper and the c/f hood and how much are they?$$$
Calm down guys. As stated in the first post, stuff like this takes time. I'm sure he will let us know as soon as he knows something himself.
Guys, I am still working on it... Relaxxxx.
I want this bumper, sorry just too lazy to read a lot of the posts.. just remember me when it's being ordered..
Eric

id be interested. price depending of course.
So, looks like half of this forum is interested, now what do we do???
Can we fit a front mounted air-to-air intercooler in these?? That would be great, if we could make it a tad bit functional. . .it would drastically change the whole FI think on CEG. . .

A air to air intercooler, I will have to get a turbo for sure then. It may take a while to save up the cash but why not. I hope this thing happens.

EXACTLY
im in provided the quality is nice, it looks like the photoshop and the price is resonable.
Whats going on with this??
This is just a guess, but I remember Quicksilver saying a while ago that some personal things came up and he was having to leave the CEG for a while. My GUESS would be that he is probably still working on it, though perhaps not as hard as before, and will get back to us as soon as he can. Th GB on the Hella RS kit has taken well over a year, and while I realize this is not a whole kit we're talkin about, we do still need to be patient. I'm sure this is still being looked into, we're just dealing with a snag in the plan right now I'm thinking.
Sounds good...I didn't bother to read the whole forum, so I wasnt being pushy or anything, but thanks for the info!
thats what i was thinking...since milans not around maybe the bumper is at the least on the back burner...anyone that knows him and i know some of u do...maybe give him a call and see if he's still working on this or if someone else needs to get involved and relieve him...im not in for this but it looks like it would be an awesome bumper for the tour
anything european as opposed to asian would look better on this car imo
whats goin on here? is we gonna do this? i have been savin my $$ for a good while, but if it is gonna be much longer, i am gonna get my exhaust.
im wondering is this going to start happing soon. if so im interested. just need to know a price and how long it will take.
I've read the entire forum, and not a thing was said about mystiques! One person asked about the mystique, but nobody anwered. I have a 96 mystique, would there maybe even be a slight chance that I could get this bumper for it? If so, I am totally interested, I dont care how long it takes.
Count my money...it's yours.....just let me know....
Im still up for this too!
Im Interested! Thats a crazy bumber
, I'd also be interested in the fog lights for it.
~~~ Still interested... but not much is going on...
I'm very interested. If this comes to be any CEG'er would be out of there mind not to jump on the band wagon. This bumper looks better than alot of those that are made for the imports.
99 black SE
19" Axis NE-O's
eibach pro's
& st4/2000 struts
next week
Count me in......... Cash in hand.

Suneil, the problem with the whole front mount I/C thing is NOT the bumper. It's getting the pipes to and from the turbo in the engine bay to the front of the car and back. There's just no F'in room - which pisses me off. The radiator blocks the whole front opening of the engine bay, there's simply no room to go around the damn thing. Plus the up-pipe and down-pipe fill up any room around the turbo. I have sat there and stared at my setup for hours on end and you just can't do it without some major blow torch work - Fugg that!
That's why a water t- air is the only way to coool it down. That or water injection or maybe that CryO2 thingy. But that bast@rd is fdamn expensive and would have you filling up with CO2 every day.
Def Interested in this bumper or any other style that would be like that. It really looks phat on the Tour. Just need to know the price of the bumper and we will see. Thanx
Well guys, sorry to break the news, but after visiting 9 places, I have come to a dead end. As of now, this project is on hold until I can find someone that is willing to step up and make these for us...
To make the a long story short, it simply costs WAY too much to make the damn molds. Hopefully, we will find a way to do it cheaper.
Sorry to disappoint so many of you.

Those were my thoughts exactly. They seem to be fairly enthusiastic about our platform.....maybe they'd be interested?
