between 350 - 500 for good one I think...

100 is a steal providing its gen BMW... heard that fibreglass replicas are not really worth it!!!

I think it should have little M-Teknik badges all over it if it's genuine.

If you have any pics I know davetouring can spot the difference between a genuine and replica one.....somehow 8O

Its pretty easy to see the difference really. Firstly, Gen BMW kits (e.g M Tech2) has stickers on them. Each front side pod should have a small Mtechnic sticker near the front arch, and the rear spoiler should have one on the right as well. Or at least a recess for a sticker.

Also the front bumpers are two parts, the lower valance, and the actual bumper with indicators etc.

You can also tell from the material, the side skits for example are quite bendy, their rugged, but you can twist them and flex them a bit, they arnt 100%stiff.




Oh and their also pretty weighty, the front bumper (not the valance) has some weight to it!
