    Bro thanks so much for such an informative and clear video. The stealership wanted to charge me $400 something for the bumper and replacement. The M5 sport bumper is only like $200 something so might as well do it myself and save a lot of money but also upgrade the look of my car. Again thanks! You got a sub, like and your video is saved on my playlist.

      Hi! I was hoping to find a comment like this--so as far as you know, an M5 bumper cover will fit a standard (ie non-M5) 530i, so long as they're both intended for the e39 base?

    Reason to remove the bumper is the fit there are gaps between the bumper and the body. I have not take the bumper off so I am not sure if the brackets are loose or broken or if the bumper's insides are ok. If the brackets the bumper slides into are damage is that an easy fix?

      Basu B due to the age of some of these parts, they might break and replacement will be required. Check out our website, we might have some good tabs in stock. www.bimmermerchant.com

  • @farufas
    @farufas 9 лет назад +1

    Awesome directions, I got a question after removal of this bumper is it hard to put an m5 bumper. I have the same bumper as the one in the video.
    Thanks

    • @bimmermerchant
      @bimmermerchant  9 лет назад +1

      F Sohail M5 front bumper should slide right in. You will have to change the front lower splash guards and fog light connectors since they are different on M5 Front Bumpers. And please, don't buy aftermarket M5 bumpers. Most are mass produced in china with very low material quality. Used OEM Parts are better than new Chinese.

  • @patrickpereira490
    @patrickpereira490 10 лет назад +1

    This video was extremely helpful! Thank you. I do have a question. I have a 99 528i. If I found a m5 style bumper, will the steps be the same in re-installing the bumper?

    • @bimmermerchant
      @bimmermerchant  10 лет назад

      First off, please make sure that M5 bumper is factory, OEM. If you are buying an aftermarket, it will not align properly with your fenders and worst off, you will have issues when painting it. Anyhow, to answer your questions, YES, same removal process. Hopes that helps

      removing bumper will make replacing sensor much easier, unless you got skinny hands and can rear in the back of bumper and set sensor in place.

    I have a facelift bumper on my BMW 525D E39 and i have to place now the ventilation grill underneath the bumper. If i look so the grille is higher then the space between the bumper. I have a original ventilation grill does it's fits on a facelift bumper or do i need a special one for the facelift bumper ? and btw your video is perfect clearly explained man

    • @bimmermerchant
      @bimmermerchant  7 лет назад +1

      Hello,
      Parts on Bumpers manufactured between 2001-03 (facelift) are not compatible with previous manufactured bumpers. Maybe that is why ventilation grill is not fitting properly on your facelift bumper. Check out our website for E39 facelift parts at www.bimmermerchant.com

    • @bimmermerchant
      @bimmermerchant  10 лет назад +1

      Hard to say. Both cars have front bumpers held by two large screws, only question would be how to access the head of that screw to remove. We haven't had the opportunity to work on 95 5-series models so our information is limited, however, we encourage you to start be removing front trim since bolts are usually cover with these trims. Good luck
