BMW X5 E53 1999-2006 Rear Bumper Cover PDC Cutouts 3.0d 3.0i 4.4i FREE POSTAGE

⚠ CRITICAL FITMENT CHECK — READ BEFORE ORDERING

This is a rear bumper cover with PDC-component cut-outs for the standard-width BMW X5 E53. No ultrasonic parking-sensor units or PDC wiring loom are fitted or included. The supplied photographs do not show a clearly readable moulded part number, so the catalogue numbers below are researched visual cross-references rather than a photographed stamp. Match your original number, cut-out layout, lower openings, access covers, exhaust clearance and mounting profile before purchase. Send your registration or VIN through eBay Messages when help is required.

IMPORTANT — NO PARKING SENSORS INCLUDED

All ten actual-item photographs were rechecked. The bumper cover shows PDC-component cut-out positions, but no ultrasonic parking-sensor units or PDC bumper wiring loom are fitted. This listing is for the photographed bumper cover only. Transfer your compatible sensors, holders/bezels and loom from the old bumper or obtain them separately. Do not order expecting electronic sensors to arrive.

ACTUAL ITEM PHOTOGRAPHS

Actual item: outer face. Chalk-marked areas identify visible cosmetic defects.

All ten live-listing photographs are embedded above. Only the photographed bumper cover and any trims physically attached in these images are included.

CONDITION — BODYSHOP PREPARATION EXPECTED

Pre-owned exterior body panel with visible scratches, scuffs, storage marks, chalk-marked defect areas and age-related cosmetic wear. The reverse side shows dirt, abrasion and areas that may be old adhesive or repair residue. Exact paint code is not visible or verified; the finish appears dark metallic grey/black in the photographs. Budget for inspection, preparation and repainting. Inspect every image closely, especially mounting edges, PDC-component cut-outs, lower openings and rear-side repair residue.

WHERE IT FITS & WHAT IT DOES

This moulded cover spans the rear of the E53 below the upper/lower tailgate and rear lamps. It forms the visible exterior surface around the PDC-component cut-outs and lower trim areas, conceals the reinforcement and energy-absorbing components behind it, supports compatible separately supplied trim/PDC carriers and helps maintain correct clearance around the rear corners and exhaust area. It is a cosmetic and mounting component; it is not the structural crash reinforcement and it does not include the electronic sensors.

WHY FACTORY-SPECIFICATION PANELS MATTER

When confirmed by its moulded number, a factory-produced BMW panel is shaped around the original body contours, mounting locations, access-panel forms and PDC cut-out positions. Compared with a low-cost reproduction, this can make transfer of existing trims and alignment to adjacent panels more predictable, although every pre-owned body panel must still be inspected and test-fitted before paint. The moulded number is not readable in these photographs, so confirmation against your original panel remains essential. A reusable factory panel can also deliver substantial savings — sometimes up to 70% against current new-part pricing, depending on availability, condition, paint preparation and delivery costs.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Recommended: professional bodyshop/mechanic installation and a two-person lift. Test-fit before paint. The outline below is a general guide; use the vehicle-specific workshop procedure and torque data.

FITMENT, RETURNS & DAMAGE-PREVENTION CHECKLIST

The listing offers 30-day returns. The exact item must be returned complete, securely packaged and in the same condition. Where eBay rules permit and a return has suffered a demonstrable loss in value — for example it has been fitted, painted, modified, damaged, returned incomplete or inadequately packed — a refund deduction of up to 50% may be applied to reflect that loss. Selecting an incompatible vehicle by itself does not create an automatic fixed deduction.
