OEM Bumper Sill

maczrool · 06-07-2019, 08:25 AM

Does BMW offer a bumper sill on any of its trim levels? The bare paint in the top of the bumper on my M Sport seems a bit risky. They have the Chinese made ones on eBay but would rather purchase an OEM one if it exists.

The tailgate tends to protect the rear bumper under more conditions than on a car without one, but I had my rear bumper top and a bit of down lip PPF'd just in case — should be an easy DIY from the looks of it.

Agree with LexxM3, never has been an issue for me since whenever I have to load anything substantial, I always open the lower tailgate.

Good points! Thanks. Maybe the tailgate will be enough.
