E36 & E46 Bumper Repair and Replacement
Bumper cover repair, replacement and refinish for the E36 and E46, including the brackets, absorbers and trim behind it.
A bumper cover that is scuffed, cracked or torn can often be repaired and refinished; one that is badly broken is replaced — new, or a used one from a donor car if you prefer. The brackets, impact absorbers and trim behind it are checked while it is off.
When it applies
- A cracked, torn or scuffed bumper
- A bumper that sits loose or out of line
What the job covers
- Bumper cover repaired or replaced
- Brackets, absorbers and trim checked
- Refinished to your paint code
What it costs
Every car is different at this age, so we price it once we have seen yours. Yes. You get a written estimate by email with a private link, and you approve it job by job — or decline what you don’t want. We won’t go over the estimate you approved by more than Colorado allows (10% or 25 dollars, whichever is less) without asking you first.
Questions
Can you use a used part from your own shelf?
Yes, when we have one that fits your car and you agree to it. We sell used E36 and E46 parts on this site; a used part goes on the estimate marked as used, with its condition, before you approve anything.
Where to find us
Where to bring it
Book ahead so the car has a bay and the right person when it arrives. We get back to you to agree a time.
