Condition

This is a genuine BMW new-old-stock component that has never been installed.

The chrome finish appears bright and very well preserved. Due to its age and extended storage, the component may display minor cosmetic imperfections, including:

• Very light storage marks
• Fine superficial scratches
• Minor marks from contact with the original packaging
• Light ageing or discolouration on concealed surfaces

The original BMW plastic bag and paper wrapping show considerable age, dirt, tearing and storage wear. The condition of the packaging does not represent the condition of the component itself.

Please inspect the photographs carefully for the exact cosmetic condition.

Included

• Supplied exactly as shown in the photographs

The corresponding left-hand cover, BMW number 51111835471, is not included.

Installation recommendation

Before installation:

• Confirm that the vehicle has the European three-piece chrome bumper
• Compare the shape and mounting points with the original component
• Clean the bumper joint and surrounding mounting area
• Inspect the mounting points and retaining hardware
• Protect the chrome surface during installation
• Do not use sharp metal tools directly against the chrome
• Tighten any mounting hardware carefully to avoid deforming the cover

Installation should preferably be carried out by someone familiar with BMW E21 chrome-bumper assemblies.
