Early Cab Rear Bumper Problems

Post Fri Sep 16, 2005 11:05 pm

Hi all, I have an early euro 325ic with m-tech 1 kit in Canada. My car is in the body shop right now for a full respray. Anyway, they have mounted the rear bumper and it looks like sh*t.

The plastic trim is coming nowhere near the fender lip and there is good 1mm gap between the top of the bumper and the rear valance.

Can anyone here help me out? I need to know if/how this bumper adjusts and I need a couple close-up pictures (side & rear) of a properly adjusted bumper.

I did a search but I canÃƒ”š't find exactly what IÃƒ”š'm looking for.

Thanks!

Ok, I have narrowed down my problem (I think). My bumper to valance gap appears to be within spec.

It appears that my end pieces are the problem

Now my car has the m-technic kit. Does anyone know the difference between the m-tech end pieces (51121965897 & 51121965898) & the non m-tech end pieces (51121937413 & 51121937414)? Could this be why the ones on my car do not reach the fender lip?

Lastly, why is there an m-technic bumper moulding and a non m-techic moulding? What's the difference?

Thanks!
