Ohhhh sad, driving on the highway last night an an armadillo took of the splitter and part of the bumper. Since insurance is paying for it, what new bumper should I get??

Since you've got an E46, I'm going to recommend the OEM M-Tech bumper with clubsport "flippers." Check out the E46 Tech forum for part numbers.

ever seen an armadillo? pretty big f**kers.

I agree with sfzbimmer go with the M-Tech bumer. Very nice and clean.

Yes, it fit...

hehe

I think it was hot, I would install exactly the same bumper and splitter...

I second what Scott said, get the OEM M-Tech front bumper and add some Clubsport Flippers

damn britt... lol thats some lunchin stuff... im sure you got something much better planned anyways

here comes the obligatory question. did ya kill it? or did it roll off into the ditch and then run away?

and i'd go with whatever you feel is best, but i like the M bumper.

LOL. I ran over an armidillo the other night. It was already dead but still in the street and I had no way to go around it. Anyway, the m'f'er got caught up in my stone shield :\
Hilarity ensued :\

No, it didnt run away. I made sure that little motherf*ucker was dead after all that.

Man, that sucks. OK stinks for that, I'll admit. I hit a big whacking opossum driving east of Norman, but luckily didn't hurt my car. The opossum didnt fair too well, though.
I love the way your car looked before, I think you should fix it back like it was, unless you're tired of the look.
