Purpose and fitment

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series E81/E87 LCI (facelift) models, taking into account factory mounting points and the characteristic body line. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle guarantees a proper fit with the tailgate, lights, and wheel arches, which translates into correct body panel alignment.

Thanks to a design compliant with the manufacturer's standards, the bumper works with the original reinforcements, brackets, and hardware intended for this generation of BMW, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Color and paint finish

The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 finish is a characteristic, dark metallic BMW paint that effectively masks minor dirt and highlights the body lines. The metallic structure of the coating provides an attractive play of light on the bumper surface, which improves the overall appearance of the rear of the car.

Selecting a bumper in the same paint code allows, in many cases, to limit or completely skip repainting, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. This is a practical solution when replacing a component after a collision or during gradual body restoration.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used component, the bumper retains its original geometry and factory material structure, which is essential for the proper distribution of forces in the rear of the body. Compared to non-factory replacements, the original component ensures a better fit to the body lines and predictable behavior during installation.

This type of part is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where both correct fitment and compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications are important. A used bumper can also be a good choice for restoration projects where maintaining the car's original character is a priority.

Benefits of using an original BMW bumper

• Factory fitment for the BMW E81/E87 LCI body in the rear zone.
• Original Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color, consistent with the manufacturer's palette.
• Possibility to reduce paint work with the correct paint code selection.
• Preservation of the manufacturer-intended design in the area of bumpers and reinforcements.
• A cost-effective solution for vehicle repairs and restorations.

When selecting a rear bumper for a specific BMW 1 Series equipment version and model year, it is worth paying attention to the generation, body style, and mounting zone compatibility.
