Purpose and function of the bumper

The presented rear bumper is a structural body component responsible for absorbing some of the impact forces during minor collisions and providing an aesthetic finish to the rear of the vehicle. Thanks to its precise fit to the E91 LCI body lines, it ensures proper alignment with other body panels, trim strips, and lighting.

As a part from the Bumpers and reinforcements category, this component serves as a base for mounting other rear body zone elements, such as brackets, covers, or sensors (if provided in the specific vehicle configuration).

Color and paint finish

The bumper is finished in the factory Black Sapphire Metallic color, designated by paint code 475. This shade of black with metallic pigments is characteristic of many BMW configurations, which makes it easier to maintain a consistent look for the entire body after replacing the part.

The metallic paint finish promotes an even distribution of light reflections on the bumper surface, which improves the vehicle's visual appeal and reduces the visibility of minor shade differences when proper paint repair or polishing is performed.

Technical characteristics and installation

The bumper has been designed specifically for installation at the rear of the vehicle, taking into account factory mounting points and the geometry characteristic of the BMW 3 Series E91 LCI version. The design allows for integration with original reinforcements, brackets, and other mounting system elements in this zone.

As a BMW original body component, the bumper ensures proper fitment to factory mounting gaps, which facilitates work for the body shop and reduces the time required for adjustment relative to the tailgate and fenders.

Condition and practical application

The product is offered as used, which provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining original geometry and compatibility with the factory mounting system. This type of part is suitable for both accident repairs and replacing a bumper due to wear and tear damage.

Choosing a used rear bumper in the original Black Sapphire Metallic color often allows for a reduction in the scope of paint work, which translates into shorter vehicle downtime and a more economical repair.

Compatibility and part selection

To correctly select a bumper for a specific BMW unit, it is worth verifying compatibility with the body configuration and vehicle equipment. It is helpful to compare the shape, mounting points, and any indentations or holes for additional equipment elements.

If necessary, you can use the OEM part number or interchangeable numbers, which are detailed in the product's technical specification, making it easier to match the component to a specific equipment version and model year.
