i dont think it would be that hard to take the bumper of replace it with another bumper there are some diy on here for that . but do you know if it is lower than what you have now , is your car lowered . i would say it would have to be put on jack stands and taken off if your car is lowered . i am sure we can do let us know

I'd be up for a meet for sure.

Regarding the rep bumber, I don't have first hand experience with the M3 but I don't think it will be much different/hard to install on your car. Did you already buy the bumper or are you still looking?

Im still looking. I would like to get the vorsteiner one. There are a bunch of DIYs out there. The 2 best options are to either glue it to the foam (kevlar bar 02+ models) or buy $450 worth of parts from the 01' M3's front end. Im not sure I really want to glue it inplace but for the extra $450 and hassle... The car is not lowered so it shouldnt be too big of a hassle to get it off/on.

to be honest with you i would buy the parts and do it right, just in case you decide to change your mind and go with something else you can always sell the parts with the after market bumper. if you do decide to glue it let me know i can get the glue you need to put it on .

Have you read any testimonies from folks that had it glued? As long as the glue is strong enough, you should have no problems.

That's cool. GL with that. Let me know if you need any help. It looks like it's getting warmer so I'll need your help getting the control arms and bushings installed. I still haven't found a shop that will press the powerflex bushing on to the housing...

So where and when's the meet gonna be?

We haven't really singled out a place.... anyone have any ideas? Perhaps somewhere where there is something going on?

meet in Rolla!!!

I live here, a couple people could crash at my place if necessary... don't have a lot of space, but I have a loveseat and lots of floor

^^ What's going down in ROLLA? I'm up for the road trip as long as I'm not on my own.

St. Paddy's Day is starting. Apparently it's kind of a big deal.

There's always bars and strip clubs, too

Woah, that sounds good to me

Any other takers?

Nah. I might be able to squeeze in something local, but I'd bow out on the roadtrip.

st louis is always an option, too if anybody wants to get together there. I'd rather not just hang out for an hour parking lot meet if I'm going all the way there, though

well we can meet at hooter again in south county or wing stop in st.charles or

hey st.louis fanatics i just bought the rear wheel bearing tool if you need to replace your bearings i will be willing to rent it out so let me know

I think every pregnant woman in Rolla just sat down next to me here at panera. Plus they're letting their kids run around, yelling and screaming, no control whatsoever.

I feel like starting a microwave on high and opening the door
