Help! Front Bumper replacement

Pimpsy · 08-17-2021, 08:49 PM

Hi Guys,
Please LMK if you can assist with sourcing a replacement front bumper. I need to replace mine after an "incident" in my garage.
Surprisingly hard to find body parts?
2019 M5C Donington Grey.
Thanks much for any help.

Have ordered from here before with no issues and fairly quick shipping!

Probably one of those times where it’s worth looking into dealer or authorized-body-shop pricing. You can find the bumper at a good price, but after core charge and shipping it’ll be a lot more.

Good luck. Also, what happened?

Thanks. For $844 + paint/swap I'll just eat it.

My garage is super shallow and I manage to dent the front lip on my kids t-ball stand that I placed to keep me from hitting the back, lol.
I as told the little dent can't be taken out and its bothering me, so new bumper it is.

Thanks again for your reply.

i hardly believe a small incident in your garage would require a bumper change. Post a pic.

Alex540M · 08-18-2021, 10:02 PM

Agreed, unless there is a hole in the bumper, a good body shop should be able to make it look like new.

Thanks for your input. The bodyshop that works with my dealership, Prestige BMW, has explained that the small dents along the leading edge (that made the edge bulge out) can't be taken out and that the bumper will need to be replaced to fix.
The several techs I spoke to seemed to be in agreement.

I only asked where I could source a bumper, hence the lack of pics.
But since everyone seems so curious I’ll snap one as soon as I have a chance and upload it.
