Hi All

I guess this post is for anyone who has an E60/E61 WITHOUT the new M Sport Aerodynamic bodykit

This document has just been released by BMW AG and is applicable for Left and Right Hand Models. No restrictions on regions therefore I assume it is available worldwide.

This 12 page PDF (English) is about 800 KB long (sorry...) and shows how to retrofit to your car.

01290398692.pdf

Here are the Part Numbers:

51.71.0.396.831 / 832 / 833 / 834 - READY PAINTED bumpers etc. (need to specify colour code when ordering)

51.71.0.396.683 / 684 / 685 / 686 - PRIMED ONLY bumpers etc.

Note: It will take a few hours to install depending on your model.

All the Best

Hobi

FYI

The picture I posted here is from the front cover of the Sport Brochure in the UK. I am using it on my site until I can get actual pictures of my car in Dec.

All the Best

How do you get this info.

We need to find someone who can download THE WHOLE BMW tech website.

If you ever find such a person, be sure to pass on the request. It would be good to get all the tech notes online, for us to read through and know about.

BangleBox... I have access to the BMW WebTIS which is updated almost every day...

I think BMW would have a problem if all the info came out into the public domain.... Anything you particularly want to know?

Nothing I *need* to know. Just interesting to know about new items that might be relevant to us all.

I'm sure BMW would have a fit if their "inside knowledge" was leaked to users. Knowledge is power though, so the more we have, the better it is for us.

What is the part number for just the rear bumper? Any idea on how much the complete retrofit will cost?
