Will 2009 front bunper fit on a 2007?

Bernz · 01-18-2011, 12:28 PM

Hello,

I have a 2007 328xi coupe. I bought an OEM front bumper here on E90 post from a 2009 335i coupe. The dealer is telling me he tried to install the 2009 bumper but it would not fit?!?! Any reason why this is?! Is there an adapter I can buy?!? I thought 2007 thru 2009 were same ... ?

Same bumper... no reason it shouldn't fit.

I have a friends couzin who works at the dealership, said he would have his service guys do it for cheap. I think they just didnt want to do it, either way. They said "the bumper is not fitting with my headlights". Bunch of BS..Whatever, I am taking to another body shop to have it done. Thanks guys, I knew I wasnt crazy.

If you do it yourself. You learn, have fun and can put that money towards the paint job if it needs to be painted.

Ya man do it yourself, its really not that hard.

You guys are right, I printed the DIY instructions from this site and all back when I bought the bumper over 1 year ago and planned on doing it my self..Never got around to it. Living downtown in Chicago doesn't afford me the environment or time to do it myself..Found a body shop who will put it on for 150. Lame, I know..
