Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this problem I'm having with bumper end pieces. The left one fell off and I'm trying to replace it with a matching part. The only one I can find, and have actually bought thinking it was correct because of matching part numbers, is to big and also has a filled in section, where as mine has a gap so it can slide in place.

The one I have a need is the small one, as shown fitted on the bumper. The larger one is one I just bought sold with the same part number as shown here, number 13 -

Car is a 325i Sport M-tech 1 1986

Hi,

Not really sure if I'll be much help but I was in the same situation as you. The M-Tech 1 rubber end pieces are no longer available. I ended up cutting the bigger ones to get them to fit.
