Damaged Front M Sport Bumper Cover Options
So I pulled too far forward over a parking curb, which is no problem because my 340i is at the perfect high to just clear the curb itself. This curb in particular had the two rebarb poles that hold it in place standing out farther than usual.
As a result when I backed out of the spot the rebarb caught the bottom of my bumper cover and ripped it off some. On the driver side theres a clear 10mm gap between the bumper cover and the fender. The bumper cover also has some slight play on the driver side as well. The BMW dealership I bought the car from says I need a new bumper to the tune of $3k. Considering the only visible damage is the minor gap I'd rather try to fix this bumper if possible. Can anyone tell me if I might have a chance of re-aligning the bumper as is? |

Fixed mine.
I did the same thing.
Removed bumper and reinstalled. The area where the bumper and fender meet is the issue. I had to modify the left side and it is about 95% correct. You can't tell from the outside. I bought my car off lease and the bottom of the bumper was pretty rough from curbing. I bought some new plastic screws and replaced and added the missing ones. Then I added a plastic front lip that is soft and flexible to rub the curbs with. Looks better and covers the ground up bottom of the bumper. Last edited by Alan762; 04-10-2020 at 01:52 AM.. |

leadfoot12 What did you end up finding after you took it off. I did the exact same thing and looking to see what’s going to need to be fixed.
Alan762 Where did you get the soft and flexible lip from? |
