Can someone take a close up of the front bumper

Quickburn7 · 10-09-2018, 04:18 PM

It looks like my body shop didn't put my car back together properly. Can someone take a close up of the front grills where it meets the hood and bumper.

Looks like there is a big gap between my hood and grills:

The hood seems fine. The hood hangs over the black piece where the camera is is normal your bumper on the other hand!!.. the bumper below the center camera is is sticking out though !

Take a look at the first two pictures in my thread. It's hard to tell for sure, but it looks pretty close.

No look at the piece of the bumper directly beneath the camera.. yours isn’t like that!

Personally I noticed a bigger gap on the M5 than other vehicles between the hood and front grill and headlights. I found it odd, but that is the way the come.

Agreed - looks like the bottom of camera piece got pushed too far onwards. Should be flush

Now I see that. I was focused on the top of the grills where they meet the hood.

Yeah I saw that Front camera sticking out was making sure they didn't assemble the rest too far back.

Looks like they need to push the bumper further back to meet the bottom of the kidney grills and bottom of the black pieces that the camera is on..

yep... center of your bumper is bulging out and needs to be adjusted. sides of the bumper look right so seems like there is just something blocking it in the middle.

Nice garage!

Yeah I think it's just the bumper. Hood looks fine.

Did you ever figure this out?

My bumper was removed and repainted as well and I have the same issue. Not sure how to fix it

LSM · 11-30-2020, 07:40 PM

I think it's more than just the bumper. Look at the difference in space between the top of the grill and the hood. Completely diff gaps as you see between each grill and the hood and additionally one side has different gaps along the entire same grill

Atlanta ///M · 11-30-2020, 09:30 PM

Hopefully you got this sorted out?

What color is your M5? Looks awesome!

Hey Quickburn, What happened to your car to require body work?
