I hit something and the passenger side front bumper cover supports appear to be cracked. The bumper cover is loose only on this side. I cannot tell what needs replacing as the broken pieces are gone. Can anyone point me to a detailed schematic that shows the assembly and supports?
Realoem.com is a great source for parts drawings - http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do Use you Vin or the production date off the door jamb. 2003 330ci http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?model=BD53&mospid=47713&hg=51&fg=15
Thank you! This is a lot closer than anything I could find previously. The exploded view is still somewhat ambiguous about what support the edge of the bumper cover. In the diagram at url below: would anyone know if it is part 7, guide L/R, that supports it? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BD53&mospid=47713&btnr=51_4902&hg=51&fg=15
Yes. There is one guide on each side. They provide support for the sides of the bumper cover. It does not take much of an impact to make them fail. They run less than $10 each and it's a fairly straightforward repair. Let me know if you need any instruction though.
