I was tempted myself by this. The cheapest one you're most likely to find is on eBay, its talked about here and there's a few photos too, a few people seemed happy with them

Thanks mate! thats what i was looking at, only concern thats stopping me is lack of wash nozzle output... apparently original e90 ones are too big, planning xenon lci conversion and nozzles are must on xenon headlights... lifes not easy ha

The genuine ones are too wide because the genuine ones compensate for the wider arches on the m3. there are replicas out there and you may find that they do make ones with the nozzle cut outs. I know the yanks are more into it than the brits but there are a few here that have them.

oh i know that genuine M3 bumper is a lot wider... i was thinking about the headlight wash system nozzles and covers

do a uk forum search for my username - I have a thread dedicated to the one I bought.

Mine doesn't have washer cut outs, but I know that hasn't stopped a few other I have spoken to. It can be done.

There is the ongoing conversation around xenons and washers.

Legislation indicates that the washers must work if installed... if not installed they can't be failed.

But for every person that says this, another says the opposite

As for the m3 rep I have... I love it, and it looks mint
