Purpose and Function of the BMW E90 LCI Rear Bumper

The presented rear bumper is designed as a body part mounted on the rear of the vehicle, responsible for absorbing minor operational loads and correctly guiding the body lines. The design adapted to the E90 LCI version guarantees proper fitment with the fenders, trunk lid, and reinforcement elements, which facilitates installation and subsequent gap adjustment.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the bumper works with original mounting points, brackets, and reinforcements, reducing the need for modifications and maintaining compliance with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Bluewater Metallic - 896 Color and Aesthetic Value

The Bluewater Metallic - 896 finish is a distinctive, metallic shade used in BMW 3 Series models, which effectively accentuates the body lines and gives the car a cohesive, elegant look. Using the original color makes it easier to match the bumper to the existing body paint, often reducing the scope of painting work.

For users who care about the vehicle's aesthetics, it is important that the bumper in this shade allows for a uniform color scheme of the rear of the car, while remaining consistent with the manufacturer's factory color palette.

Construction, Installation, and Body Fitment

The E90 LCI rear bumper is constructed as a component that works with factory reinforcements and body mountings. The appropriately shaped outer surface and internal mounting points enable:

• correct seating on original brackets and guides,
• maintaining the correct contact line with the trunk lid and fenders,
• integration with reinforcement elements located behind the bumper.

This solution facilitates efficient installation in a workshop setting and also simplifies subsequent adjustments after body repairs or replacement of other body components.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The offered bumper belongs to the group of used parts, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle and may show signs of previous use. This type of part is an attractive alternative to new components, especially for accident repairs or restoration projects where a combination of reasonable costs and maintaining original construction is important.

Choosing a used BMW rear bumper allows for maintaining compliance with factory technical solutions while limiting expenses related to restoring the vehicle to full visual and functional condition.

Part Selection and Additional Technical Information

To correctly select the bumper for a specific BMW 3 Series version, it is worth paying attention to the body generation, the facelifted version (LCI), and its placement on the vehicle. The product has assigned catalog numbers and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with the specific car configuration in manufacturer catalogs or service systems.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair of the rear bodywork or replacing several elements simultaneously, it may be helpful to compare the designations with the vehicle documentation and consult with a workshop specializing in the BMW brand.
