I just had a huge brain fart. But would anyone know if it would be possible to fit a BMW 2001-2005 or 96-2000 525i M-sport front bar to a second gen magna? How much would need to be cut of, i assume the 525 is a little wider?

I personally reckon it'd look the goods, but was just wondering how possible it would be. Cos i think i can get a primed one (No fogs) pretty cheap. Cheers, Brad

Thats actually an interesting idea, I'll check the body size figures a bit later when the website is back up, see what sort of differences there are in the car width, then it'd just be the curves in the bumper as to whether they'd line up or not.

Well i can tell you now that the grilles of both cars pitch into the bumper differently, so i doubt it will be a complete bolt on.
Best bet is to check the dimensions of both cars, and worse comes to worse actually test fit one on

Yeah i noticed that, but only by the smallest of margines do they pitch differently and if im right (which i think i am) the magna pitches deeper, but they are both about as round as each other, so worst to worse either have a small ventelated gap, or shave the bumper down a little at the top

Best thing to do is to just try it on. Only takes 20ish minutes to get the bumper off anyway.

Very interesting idea..........have you got a friend or someone thats able to do the fitting for you? Could be expensive from a panel joint

I'm 99% sure I've seen a 2nd gen sedan with either this BMW front bar or a custom front bar (styled the same).
Lost the pic of it though :doubt:

personal experience tells me this game costs about a grand for it cut, moulded, painted and fitted...and i kinda knew the guy... :confused:
