Purpose and Function of the Part

The offered protective strip is dedicated to the rear body section of the BMW 1 Series E81/E87 facelift (LCI) models equipped with the PDC sensor parking system. The element is an integral part of the bumper, responsible for:

• protecting the upper edge of the bumper from scratches during luggage loading,
• stable seating and correct positioning of parking sensors,
• aesthetically completing the bumper surface at the rear of the vehicle.

Thanks to its factory design, the strip works with the original bumper mountings, which facilitates installation and allows for a consistent look of the rear body.

Montegoblau Metallic A51 Color and Visual Matching

The element is finished in the Montegoblau Metallic A51 color, characteristic of BMW's paint palette. This means that when used on a vehicle in the same shade, it is possible to achieve a uniform surface without the need for additional painting or with minimal correction, depending on the condition of the car's paintwork.

The metallic paint structure ensures:

• consistency with the factory finish of the BMW body,
• a modern, dynamic look for the rear of the vehicle,
• better masking of minor wear marks compared to solid paints.

Original Origin and Technical Specifications

The strip comes from the BMW parts line, which means adherence to factory design and material standards. The original construction translates to:

• precise fit to the bumper specific to E81/E87 LCI,
• compatibility with the factory PDC parking sensor layout,
• preservation of the body lines according to the manufacturer's design.

The element is classified in the Bumper Inserts and Covers group, which confirms its function as a supplementary and protective part, not a structural one. This allows it to be used for both accident repairs and visual refresh of the vehicle.

Condition, Installation, and Practical Application

The offered strip is a used part, making it an attractive solution for those looking for an economical yet original alternative to new components. In practice, this allows for:

• reducing the cost of rear bumper repairs,
• maintaining original mounting parameters,
• reducing waste through part reuse.

Due to its factory origin, the strip is prepared for installation in the location designated by the vehicle manufacturer. With a properly maintained bumper, the installation process is limited to removing the old element and fitting the new one, ensuring correct routing of the PDC sensors.
