My Ride: 04 525i, 04 Dinan M3
Well I did this last weekend, but forgot to post it. I was puling into a chinese resturant to have lunch. In the parking spot I pulled up and I guess the spot slopped up and scrapped the bumper on that concrete thing. I pulled back and I heard it scrape. It pulled the bottom of the bumper back. I didn't realize how low it was. :thumbsdown: It doesn't look THAT bad but I notice it, heck at least its centered.
I tried heating it up with a blow dryer and putting wood to keep it in place and put ice on it. It helped a bit but then just went back to the shape. You can push it up but when you let go it reverts. Any ideas??
If you look to the left of the license plate, you can also see that it the bumper ripped down from the top part.

do u guys have a good close of pix of ACS?
I bet standing up it is barely noticeable. If you replace it with a m-tech type bumper who is to say that it would not happen again?

Is there a hard surface under the bumper to which you could adhere the pulled section? Either with a screw or 2 stage adhesive?
