All I got was the bumper and the screws taped inside. I also ordered black grills. (the box that was taped on top)
Let us know how the install goes. It's really cool that a bunch of us get to go through this experience together!

Hey man - glad I could help out!

I'd offer to help others, but I'm moving out of state next weekend, so I won't be so near the border anymore.


In any event, make sure you post up pics after it's painted and finished. I was thinking of getting the ACS-style lip, but I MIGHT just get this instead..


Umnitza - can I order one of the pre-painted from you?? That would surely make life easier...

We cannot do pre-painted, too many liability issues.

Gentleman, we have a better service now for you for shipping. It may be less expensive or slightly more, but it will work better.
Those of you on the fence, please call in for a full explanation, as we are still working out ALL the details on the new shipping methods.

I did not see anything like that bulge on my bumper. If you are working with a bodyshop, they should be able to remove the bulge and make it smooth before painting.

Nope, that's what we all received. The fitment is quite good. I was actually able to use my OEM bumper foam without cutting it and I also was able to re-use the OEM brake ducts without much modification. The only thing you will need is the headlight washer brackets. Member nigxdoof discovered that first and was kind enough to share the part #'s:
51117896601 Lever Left
51117896602 Lever Right

Will cost ~$20 for both @ BMW.
