Hi All! I am just about to change the standard SE front bumper on my 2003 545 for an M sport item. I'm sure this has been done dozens of times. Could anyone point me at a link for the procedure? Thanks, Ken.

 

2003? Do you have a E60 or os it E39? I thought all E60's were 2004 models.

 

Yup, September 03, UK car, E60,so probably out in Europe first.

 

im doing this also ken
let me know if you have any joy finding the retro fit instructions.
i have bought the bumper/fog lights, but need to know if i require brackets etc.


david.

 

in germany there are a few 2002 year E60 pre production cars.
came out in UK mid 2003.

Hi Dave, willdo. If you try the link above, then click enter,(no signing in), it will navigate you to your model and give you all the exploded parts views for each bumper. I have ordered the 3 mesh grille sections and the foglight holder brackets. The storeman had no idea about screws, brackets etc, so I'll let you know what else you need when I know!
Good luck, Ken.
PS I also have a PDF file on some detail on how to fit. It's basic but may help. I can't drag it here, but could email it to you if required.

 

thanks ken, i opted out of the 3 mesh bit, as i wanted to add 1 large peice of blach mesh there (like the bentley look)

good luck.
