Something I've said before:
https://5series.net/forums/topic/770...ost__p__915263

Need to add one more thing for you guys about pre-painting and why we don't offer it...but we could.

There are many downsides to pre-painting bumpers:
1) Paint match is best done at the shop because very very slight variances in a shade can be minor in the paint booth but extremely pronounced on the car.
Further issues arise from "blending" to the car if it's 6 months old or 5 years old (as some E60s are now).
2) Once a bumper is painted, that's it, it's purchased and it's yours to keep even if it's not perfectly matched paint wise.
3) Shipping costs go dramatically up due to extra precaution required to wrap a painted bumper to avoid any damage.
4) Customer headache potential goes up. What happens if there is a chip, scratch, scuff, or worse a break in shipping? It becomes a double headache fixing something already painted - mostly from a customer perspective because you have to find a shop willing to fix it now or get it sent back and wait for a fix.

For local customers, we recommend Jim from Regal Collision in Vallejo. We have sent many customers there and have had great success with our own 2 cars sent there.

Alright guys so I went ahead and tried fixing it myself. Took the advice on the heat.

Tools required were:

1. portable heater
2. flashlight
3. 2 pairs of shoes

I heated it up being careful not to burn it. I also directed the heat at an angle to avoid direct heat. After it softened up, i pushed corrected the fit. i thought fast and grabbed 2 pairs of shoes to keep to maintain the pressure. I let it sit for about an hour and problem fixed!

Probably during the curing process the bumper wasn't resting properly and the stress created a minor bulge. now i can sleep at night.
