![]() ![]() Still I loosened them even more and tried to lift the bracket and move the bumper up but it didn't work and I realized my bumper was not sagging at all. The bolts on my car for some reason were already loose (or not tight at all) but the brackets were firm and sitting at their highest point possible and were not in themselves sagging or lower than they should've should been. On my car I expected the worse and thought that the brackets would be broken or split, but to the contrary they were in perfect condition. If your bracket is cracked or broken you will have to replace it so expect to find cracked or broken off brackets on cars that have severe sagging or had a front end collision before. So as you can see in these pictures my bumper was sort of sagging and I noticed it becoming more pronounced since the cold, snowy, salty days of winter has passed. The only tools needed are a small screwdriver and dull clean butter knife for removing the corner lamps and a 10mm ratchet wrench or driver on preferably a slim low profile ratchet handle. And that is a local BMW specialty shop that was recommended to me, so I cannot imagine what the dealership would charge for this basic 10 minutes or less DIY job.Īnyway I got the advice from BodyMan and a few other folks here but like most issues there is no DIY for this awesome secret fix and I'm sure 97% of you will be finding out about this for the first time here. Last summer I went to a local shop and got quoted $750 to realign the bumper with dent removal on the nose section of my hood and light paint touch up on the plastic bumper. This is not some hocus pocus DIY but technical instructions for realigning, calibrating and fixing a sagged or off frame lower front bumper back to factory new condition ![]()
