I had a look at the Msport front bumper of my pre-LCI E60 and noticed that there is agap of 1cm or less between the headlights (under them) and the bumper.
Is that normal or not? I went to a BMW garage and compared and yes there is a gap which I never noticed before it seems, but still I trust you guys more
The car is Msport from factory.

I have an evident gap there as well, but not sure how big it is in millimeters. If you find it annoying, it's fixable, read here: https://5series.net/forums/topic/126...-m-kit-bumper/

edit: Oh, that thread wasn't what I was actually looking for... just a sec.
edit2: Actually it was . Damn I got to go to sleep .

That thread is if you had SE bumper and then went to Msport isn't it? I take it my hooks are already aligned properly from factory or BMW messed that up on the 05 models?

A worthy thread to tag. Although my bumpers are properly aligned, my buddies E60 has the same problem. I'll send him the link....

Ah! My weekend project is here ever since I've had the front re-sprayed, it has been hanging a little droopy. Thanks, Antti!
