So I got in contact with OEMpartsdirect.com regarding a E63 front bumper and the rep sends me an email with a quote of $429.00 and 29.50 for shipping. I knew right away this has to be a mistake so I asked for a diagram of what I will be recieving, and he sends me this. I told him that this is currently the bumper I have on my car (pic in the diagram) and he says that mercedes uses this diagram for all bumpers AMG or non AMG. What do you guys think about this? I thought E63 front bumper ran atleast 1500 or more?

 

have a E63 vin ready when you purchase/ i think you can get one off ebay

 

Keep asking around, but remember he should be quoting wholesale price, considerably less than retail. I got front disks and pads for low $400 from Chris at Oempartsdirect which was $200 less than materials only from my local shop, who in turn says they're $100 less than MB. You could even ask him what they'd be retail

 

That does sound low because the E55 front bumper cover costs $1500.

 

def not amg bumber, look at the cut outs for the fog lamps...if you cant tell the difference, what are you doing even looking into upgrading?

 

Remember ...

That is ONLY the Outer Skin....And The Pic shows a NON AMG Car

You will ALSO need the Inner Reinforcement and Foam..Fogs and Grills...$$$$

 

Yup.
Just the lower center grill/mesh that is in front of the radiator costs $120.

 

or that price could be aftermarket, none oem.. or unpainted, or any reasons

 

The E63 bumper list price is $1100 and that does not include fog lights, mesh etc.

 

Be sure and get a quote to paint the bumper as that will be a large expense.

 

He asked me about this, and so I contacted MB about the discrepancy in the picture. What I was told was that the EPC uses generic diagrams to denote the same items across a wide spectrum of models purely because it is not time-effective to render a different diagram for every specific vehicle. He also was concerned because the diagram of the foglamps showed rectangular ones as opposed to the round ones that typically fit an AMG. I had one of the foglamps in stock, so I checked it. It was, in fact, round.

Just thought I'd try to clarify things!
