Sup, my front bumper doesn't line up w/the passenger side front. Can you folks look at your 5-series and tell me if it's a common problem? It's like the fender matches but then it sticks out a little bit. Please post.

On a similar topic - it seems all five series have a "mismatch " where the top corners of the bonnet (sharp pointy corners adjacent to the corners) meet the wings.
They just look so misaligned - what do you think?

I thought I was the only one who noticed that there is a slight mis-alignment in the from grill/bumper of the E60s.

Now I know I am not alone - yes, I have also noticed the problem - question is, can the mis-alignment be rectified?

Anybody tried discussing this problem with their dealers?

Hey i was wondering about the misalignment. If i was looking at the car from the said would the misalignment were talking about be right in front of the front wheel. Are we talking about the corner of the bumper sticking out? I have that. I though it looked wrong. Or are we talking about a misalgnemnt between the grill and the bumper in the front?? Thank for your help
