We have only 7 bumpers arriving this July 21st, 4 are spoken for.

You will need to purchase all the "M" performance parts for this bumper if your car is a 2008 and higher, on the 2007, you can probably get away without buying the new rebar.

yes, left and right mounts
I don't think you'll need the bottom guide.
basically 4 pieces total - center bar, outsides, and the little battery cover attachment.

You can definitely reuse the PDC.

Default Get the center guide!!

Get the center bottom guide!!!!!
You also need the 'battery tray' which is the flat panel that supports/protects the self leveling rear suspension air pump (right side of the guide just behind the right rear tire).




Umnitza went to the trouble of listing the BMW OEM bumper beam and the left and right bumper brackets (around $250 - $300 for all three), why not list the $30 guide and the $30 'battery tray'. Without them your air pump will be exposed to road debris and the bottom edge of the bumper and the diffuser will not be secured to the car.
My body shop couldn't finish the install as they wouldn't risk their reputation on a bumper flopping around with their name on the work. I had to buy my parts from the dealer (more $$$ than ECS tuning) just to get them in 2 days so that my body shop could finish their work.


That being said and Umnitza's lack of attention to detail not withstanding, their bumper fits great and looks great. It's a quality piece and the price is right. Just do your homework and be sure to order everything you might need as it will make the job go smoother.

gsodonis since you have experience installing this bumper can you please provide parts numbers? Do you still remember them? I want to buy Umnitza rear bumper but would like to do proper installation from the beginning, I don't want to get stuck with some missing parts.

Thanks in advance for your time.

It's added to the site's link already, there is only 1 additional part number required, the others were the same as we had already listed.

We've had a few customers comment about this, but most of them simply had their shop make relief cuts in the existing cover.
Thank you for the tip, we've since added the battery cover part number as a requirement on the site's link.
