Purpose and Fitment for BMW E87

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the BMW E87 series, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement on the rear of the vehicle ensures proper alignment with the trunk lid, lights, and side panels, which facilitates installation and minimizes the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Thanks to its construction conforming to manufacturer standards, the bumper works with factory brackets, guides, and reinforcements, preserving the original rigidity and body line. This solution is particularly beneficial for accident repairs where precise restoration of factory geometry is crucial.

Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 Color

The Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 finish is a distinctive metallic graphite paint from the BMW palette, valued for its understated yet dynamic appearance. This shade effectively masks minor dirt and is practical for everyday use, while the metallic structure accentuates the body lines in both daylight and artificial light.

For users planning installation without full repainting, color matching with the factory paint code simplifies blending with the existing car finish. In case of a complete body renovation, the bumper serves as a solid base for preparation and repainting in the same or a different shade.

PDC Functionality and Practical Application

The provision for PDC parking sensors allows for the retention or restoration of the parking assist function in the BMW E87. Appropriately positioned sensor locations ensure the system's correct operation, contributing to comfortable maneuvering in tight spaces and increased safety when reversing.

In practice, this means the ability to seamlessly transfer existing sensors from a damaged bumper or install compatible components without the need for bodywork modifications. This solution reduces repair time and minimizes the risk of installation errors.

Characteristics of a Used Part

As a used part, the bumper offers a favorable compromise between repair cost and maintaining original quality. You receive a factory BMW component that has been in use, which should be considered when planning any preparatory work before installation or painting.

Choosing an original, used bumper from the Bumpers and reinforcements category allows for maintaining the structural integrity of the body while limiting expenses compared to new parts. This is a solution often chosen by workshops specializing in accident repairs and by discerning owners who prioritize maintaining the vehicle's factory specifications.

Assistance with Selection and Additional Information

To precisely select this bumper for a specific BMW E87 version, it is advisable to use the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which are detailed in the product's technical specifications. This helps avoid ordering errors and speeds up the repair process, especially if the vehicle has undergone modifications or previous repairs.
