2004 zhp bumper 325?

So I'm looking to get either an m3 style bumper but a few kids on a car club forum think I should get a zhp bumper instead, seeing as the m bumper will look stupid and other beamer drivers will laugh...
SO. Does anyone know if a zhp bumper off.the 330 would fit onto my 2004 325xi?
If it won't bolt right up, I see no real difference between the zhp bumper and the mtechII bumper..

The mtechII bumper is $200 shipped with fogs..
Idk the zhp bumper..

First of all, don't take advice from kids. Second of all, if they laugh at you for having an M bumper, tell them to fvck off. Thirdly, I'd love to see pics of their riced out cars.

Don't let other people make the decision for you, look at pics and decide what you want for you.

As was said, M-tech II is the ZHP bumper. Get the sedan fitment, coupe won't fit. Get it painted properly when you have it installed.

Iv never seen it for 200$, 250$ to 300$ is more what iv seen but it's perfectly possible, people have had good things to say about them to (been reading a lot about the upgrade)

Sorry for a late reply, Umnitza.com was having a sale on a few bumpers, and the mtech2 was like $204 total, shipped with fogs. mtech was about 150 shipped with fogs.
