Front bumper question

Post Wed Oct 12, 2005 4:05 pm

Does the black plastic bit on the front of the front bumper come way from the painted part or do you have to buy a whole bumper?
Does that make sense??

It doies come off, you need to remove the bumper and pop the clips that are part of the black plastic thing out, you can then replace them or whatever.

Ok thanks, the corners on mine are scuffed....i'll have to go and get a price from BMW

That sounds like a good idea for tidying things up an bit. I just had a look on the ETK and looks like its about 30 quid a corner - not too bad a price methinks.

Whats ETK?
Thats not bad though...its amazing how much difference scuffed and damaged trim makes to how the car looks

ETK is the software BMW use for parts lists and TIS is Technical information, usually comes on a couple of CD's.

It's pretty good as you can find part numbers etc for your motor.

I don't know of a Uk version of it online. Does the USA one you have found give pictures etc like the CD version?

You mean the RealOEM.com site?
You select the region (USA or Europe) after you have selected the model.
