Ok i just recently got in a minor collision, my big dent in my door will be fixed monday
HURRAH
but they like pulled my front bumped almost off when theyw ere backing up, but I just pushed it back on, and it seems fine,

is the bumped like just kinda a snap on thing, or does putting it back on require welding and shit?

thx

The bumper cover does not need welding. It is held on by bolts underneath the bumper trim. Along the sides it kind of slides and clips. I think your good to go..

Pretty much there is a metal bumper that connects by a couple of plastic fastners to the OEM plastic bumper. That whole assembly connects to the car by the side clips and 4 large nuts. I added a new M3 bumper to my 325is and it was pretty easy, just need to see how it actually holds. Good luck!
