Purpose and body fitment

The strip has been designed as a rear body component, taking into account the geometry of the facelift (LCI) bumper and integration with the parking sensor system. Its proper shape and factory mounts allow for installation in the location intended by the manufacturer, without the need for any modifications to the bumper structure.

By using an original part, the correct fit with other body panels is maintained, which reduces the risk of stress, looseness, or unwanted noises during vehicle operation.

Surface finish and Black Sapphire Metallic color

The protective strip is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic, which allows for an aesthetic match to the body paint in the same shade. The metallic structure of the coating ensures consistency with the factory BMW paint, and the carefully selected gloss allows for a uniform appearance of the entire rear section of the vehicle.

The surface of the strip has been designed for daily use – its task is to absorb minor mechanical loads generated when loading and unloading luggage, which helps to reduce paint damage on the bumper edge.

Protective function and PDC compatibility

The component acts as a rear bumper guard, protecting the critical loading area from scratches and abrasions. The design of the strip accounts for the presence of PDC parking sensors, ensuring that the parking assistance system continues to function correctly after installation, without any interference in distance readings.

Properly profiled openings and embossments allow for correct positioning relative to the sensors, which is essential for maintaining the functionality of factory safety and comfort systems.

Condition, origin, and benefits of using OEM parts

The strip comes from the BMW range, which means compliance with factory quality and dimensional standards. The used nature of the component allows for an economical replacement of a damaged guard while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications, without the need to resort to replacements with uncertain fitment.

Using an original protective strip translates into:

• a cohesive look for the rear body section thanks to color and shape consistency,
• proper cooperation with PDC parking sensors,
• increased protection of the bumper edge during daily use,
• maintaining the vehicle's value by limiting visible paint damage.

Application in the body system and expansion of the protective zone

The rear bumper protective strip belongs to the group of body components responsible for the protection and aesthetics of the loading zone. It can be installed both as a replacement for a damaged guard and as part of efforts to improve the visual condition of the vehicle after bodywork and paint repairs.
