BMW E92 Front Bumper Panel Gap Alignment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Continuing the work on the E92 widebody build and encountered an unaligned front bumper which needed work before attaching the front bumper piece of the kit. This was a pita and took quite a bit of fiddling and modification but it got there in the end.

Not sure I would have as much patient as you had! Loved the video, the editing was fantastic 👌
Yeah it's a challenge for sure. Thanks mate.
Outstanding!! My 2011 E92 had front bumper replaced by BMW body shop during accident repair. I’ve got a similar gap that the shop can’t fix. You’ve created a great fix. Now I need to attempt to duplicate your work. Thanks for a great repair tutorial.
As others. I can see my bumper was repainted and poorly installed. Thanks for putting this together and pointing out the real culprits.
OMG THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR CHEERS MATE
Fantastic video. I have the gap after collecting the front left lip underside on a curb while parking (sunk into a sewer grate) while getting food in Te Aroha. There would only be a small subset of e90/e92 owners that would notice but the gap drives me crazy. Must stop procrastinating...
Once again, amazing video. Thank you.
You’re a better man than me, I just self tapped and used screws and drywall anchors lmaoooo
i have the same problem on my car, this video really helped me. Good Job!
i had the same issue with my 2011 328xi sedan it was an salvage auction car and i fixed it 100% straight and square but for the life of me i couldn't get the bumper to sit properly i will try your method next cheers from Canada!
same issue, had bonnet replaced thought he didnt secure bonnet properly but also went over a hump i shouldn't have ,or shouldnt have been there at all, and reversed back and took some underneath front bumper with me, now know its this rather than bonnet
Dude I’ve got the same problem and watching your videos is such great commentary 😂
Good luck, can’t wait for the next part!
Great work Dario keep it up Can’t wait to see the wide body kit
Im going thru this right now. Is annoying af. Was deciding to take it to the body shop until I saw your vid. Thanks!
Thanks u help me now soo much
Thank u so much, plastic "screws" were extremely hard to remove I managed to pop them out with a flathead and broke them in the process, but managed to adjust it and ridded my 550i of the unsightly gap
Glad to hear it, it's one of those things you might not notice...but once you do It just screams at you to sort it out. Thanks for letting me know!
Omg this video helped ty !
Nice work, Dario!
Good day friend! I have a BMW 325i e90, I have problems very similar to those in your video! I'll see if I can solve it with your advice....thanks.
Curious, do you have an oversized intercooler on yours at all? I’m having a hard time cinching up the bumper with the intercooler pushing it down
Thats good OCD work! How many hours? I need to do mine...+ the wing...
Tell me about it. Can't remember exactly now... probably 3-4
1000 times better
I've seen many new cars with poor panel gap alignment! Mercedes Benz, BMW, Tesla, Citroën to name a few, shocking really when you think about the technology the car car manufacturers have these days :)
At 4:45 you said you would adjust the screws at the top a little more. How exactly did you do that?
I have same problem with my hood it seems like it is not shut down properly even though it is and i want to get it tighter like you have done to the bumper, wha exactly did you do to the hood to get it nice and tight cheers
To the hood specifically... Loosened the hinge bolts and slid it all the way back then tightened the bump stops to get it to sit lower, but most of the adjustment was on the bumper as in the video.
cool , am having the same issue but mine is bigger than this -_-
Great Video Should have more view Its the same process For F10
So is this because the car had been in an accident and not realigned properly in the first instance?
No. Unsure why exactly but seems to be a pretty common thing with BMWs
from what i've read in the forums is that the material used from factory will stretch and sag. some ppl have great success by notching the holes on the front bumper support at raising it a bit, and the bumper will sit higher/flush with the hood.
Hey man what exactly did you do to fix that gap between bumper and hood? I've tried remove all the bolts on the bumper and just pushing it in or up but no dice. I can't see how you can *raise* the bumper though because the bolts screw from the top and under. So I'm just curious if you could say what you did exactly since it's kinda jump cut in the video. Thanks man!
Hey man, it was everything I did in the video. I loosened all the screws and pushed it in the right direction, added washers on top, adjusted the hood stops, heated and bent the area around the headlights...maybe more that I forgot. It's not a simple fix, many contributing factors.
@@DarioPerazzini Damn ok. I'll have to look at it again then Thanks .
When is the next part coming out?
Within 24hrs ;)
Even with oem bumpers this sucks.
Hi 4wd ??
