Might pick up a bumper but its a PDC bumper and my car is non-PDC. Not trying to fake it to make it look like i have PDC, its just i got a deal on the bumper and wanted to see if i could just get the covers. I checked on realoem.com but it seems they only sell the whole harness and sensors. If worest comes to worest i'll have the painter fill them in but if theres another option .....

hey man ive been through thsi before and there is nothing that you can really cover them up with... either you have to buy the sensors and pop them in or have the body shop seal and repaint... both are pretty expensive fyi

haha you guys go by the book so much its not even funny....me and Elite bought pdc m-tec bumpers..
i went to home depot and bought pvc pipe caps (1/2 inch) and poped them right in from the front..then they were painted over when they painted our bumpers and look perfect. Take a look at elitemotorsports page where he shows our new m-tec bumpers..those are the caps..a total of 3.98 for all 8. They go in tight as shit and may even need a small bit of sanding around the edge to get a nice fit but well worth it. Try it out

Just call EuroRev (or a similar BMW body works shop) and the'll usually have a stack of the stock bumper covers (both PDC and non PDC) in stock. Member Jcool has an LCI in white (non - PDC) that he wants to sell and I just spoke with EuroRev today and they have several non PDC covers on hand. Great to work with as well. 310.216.1220 ask for Will or John.
