OEM m-tech front bumper fitment issue?
I got the front bumper painted and installed last month and in the front, where the hood meets the top of the bumper, there is a big gap. Is this normal with an OEM bumper? I tried re-adjusting by taking out the screws from under the hood and pushing up the bumper and re-tightening, but it won't go any further than in the picture.
Also, there is a slight gap where the bottom left of the right headlight (facing the car) meets the bumper |

I just realized that the shop that put on the bumper used the non-m absorber rather than using the m-sport one. I'm guessing it's possible this would cause the gap?
the impact absorber is #8 here: http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...06&hg=51&fg=15 |

How big would you say the gap is? Mine is factory and I have a gap as well. I think all cars will have a gap just depends on how big it is. Mine is 2/16" all the way around the hood. So that space is even between hood/bumper and hood/wheel fenders on driver and passenger side. Hope that helps as a reference point to go off of.

Same here
I am guessing it's just the way it is.

Compared to this: http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...56966415_n.jpg
it is bigger and more noticeable. I'll measure the space between hood/fenders and hood/bumper and post here shortly. |
