Technical characteristics and intended use

The presented rear bumper panel is designed specifically for the BMW G30 LCI (facelift) with the M Sport package, taking into account the factory layout of the PDC parking sensors. The structure, intended for mounting on the rear of the body, allows for maintaining the correct geometry of the impact zone and compatibility with original mounts, trims, and covers.

The Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 color is a popular metallic shade used by BMW, which ensures consistency with other body components painted in the same code. As a result, the bumper can be used both as a replacement part after a collision and for spot repairs, where maintaining a uniform color and paint structure is crucial.

Construction, PDC compatibility, and utility values

The M Sport rear bumper for the BMW G30 LCI has prepared spots for parking sensors, which enables proper integration with the factory PDC system without the need for modifications. The properly shaped surface of the bumper supports the correct operation of ultrasonic sensors, minimizing the risk of false readings and interference.

Key advantages of this component include:

• factory fit to the body lines of the facelifted M Sport version,
• preservation of the original rear zone geometry, essential for mounting reinforcements and brackets,
• preparation for PDC sensors, which facilitates the transfer of the existing parking system,
• paint in the Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 shade, allowing for a reduction in the scope of paint work.

Condition, service application, and installation

The item is used, which in practice means it may show signs of wear typical for parts removed from a vehicle, yet it retains the structural functionality necessary for further use. This type of bumper is suitable for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged panel, or restoring a vehicle to M Sport specifications after previous modifications.

Due to the nature of the body component, installation in a professional body and paint shop is recommended to verify the condition of the mounts, fitment to reinforcements, and correct seating of the PDC sensors. Properly performed installation allows for maintaining the body line, panel gaps, and the correct operation of parking assistance systems.

Integration with other BMW body components

The M Sport rear bumper in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 is an essential visual and functional component of the rear section of the BMW G30 LCI, working in conjunction with decorative trims, the diffuser, lighting, and bumper reinforcements. Replacing the panel with an original part from the same model line helps avoid fitment issues characteristic of low-quality aftermarket parts and facilitates subsequent service work.
