New pre-facelift front bumper

[wiganz4]

Has anyone recently bought a new, pre-facelift (2005) bumper skin from BMW?
Wondering if they're still available and if so what sort of cost.
Someone reversed into me and mines cracked. Ive checked and thats the only damege caused by this but it's had other damage for years so I'm thinking of just replacing it with new as the other driver is willing to cover costs.

I must mention I know him so not gonna do the repair at whatever cost as he's a decent bloke and I'm also going to cover the paint cost and fit it myself

Why don’t you call the bmw dealer and ask?

This is probably closer to the price your local dealer will have it for sale for:

Never thought of that!

What would I do without this kind of advice.

If they actually have it!
They advertise new airbag modules until you actually call them, then admit they can't get any.

God knows probably 5 times the amount of effort and time asking on a forum

Sorry, should have said, the bumper itself ( part no. 51117188346) was £534.60 rest was brackets paint and labour.

Can’t you get hold of a good one off eBay? Be a lot cheaper.

Of course I could, and probably will looking at the prices!
