I'm pretty new here as I just purchased my first E60 about 3 months ago so please forgive my ignorance. I have found realoem.com to be extremely helpful; however, I have a question I thought someone here could help answer. What exactly does +core mean in the notes setion on real oem? For example:

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...75&hg=51&fg=15

If I want to purchase this bumper upgrade, would I need to purchase EVERYTHING here or just part# 51118044584 for $643.45?

Thanks for your help!

For an item such as a water pump,it is a "deposit" charge which you get back when you return your faulty or worn-out unit.That is then reconditioned for resale.
AFAIK the core charge is only on certain items and you can purchase any single item with a known part number.
Your BMW dealer can advise you regarding your specific query.
