Guys will a rear OEM mtech bumper from a 2008 BMW 550i fit my 2008 BMW 528i with plug and play? Or do I need brackets or something else? Both cars are LCI. Hoping someone can shed some light on this. Thanks.

 

Yea it will fit. The mtech rears are interchangeable between lci and pre lci. No worries man! Jst install away!

 

+1 about the lci & pre-lci, but this is irrelevant in this case.

The mounting brackets (#5) are slightly different between the non-sport rear bumper and msport rear bumper.

And you have to cut the inner plastic fender a bit. Here's an excellent DIY guide!

Gene, Ban this dude already!

 

Guys so no? Will PRE LCI fit LCI? Pre LCI mtech that is I am asking about.... And if I get LCI Mtech where can I obtain these covers and bolts? The BMW dealer I am new to this first accident ever=/.

 

hahahaha

 

WTF?
I'm confused!

 

It will fit...For the best fit, you will need the left right and center MTECH bumper brackets Anzafin posted. Also, possibly the battery compartment cover (under the car).

 

 

it will not fit you will need to change the front frame which is number 10 in the image.
The holes are in the wrong place for the front bummper to fit.
If the workshop say it will fit then that means they have not used all the screws to hold it on.
I saw a LCI fitted the fit on with out changing the frame and there was only 4 screws holding it on.
