Adro bumper

Is the Adro bumper oem quality?

I’ve never bought a aftermarket bumper. Most that I’ve seen look really cheap and brittle.

I was looking for a m3 x drive ultimate but the equivalent M4 is £10k cheaper.

I prefer the m3 but that is a big difference. M4 has individual paint (riviera blue) too

Love the Adro bumper on the m4.

Is it worth the price?

Nope, I suggest you see one up close before buying it. I personally didn't like the fit and finish but I'm pretty picky.

I’m going to bmw tomorrow just to have a look at a m4 properly. I agree the styling doesn’t look very bmw in pics.

More like a mustang to my eye than a Hyundai not that that is any better.

Mustang is the car that you love as a rental on holiday in USA, but look ridiculous on U.K. roads.

I prefer the M3 but they could have made a better effort with the rear doors. They look odd

That’s disappointing. Really like the look of them on a M4. Not so much the m3.

Expensive in U.K. compared to USA too.

It's surprising the amount of cheap and ill-fitting garbage people will fit to their otherwise expensive vehicles

I did it on my M3 and it looks fantastic. The dealer's body shop did the work and they had nothing but positive things to say about the fitment. I took the bumper off once, and it was super easy and popped back on perfectly straight.

Everyone has their right to individuality. Doesn't mean you have to like it. Plenty of stock cars and that's ok too. But just because someone else wants to do something different, doesn't make you better for it.
