Purpose and function of the component

The described trim panel is part of the Bumpers and reinforcements group and has been designed for installation in the rear body area of the BMW 3 Series E91 Touring. Its design incorporates holes and moldings for PDC sensors, which allows for the correct seating of the sensors and maintains their proper operating angle relative to the ground and obstacles.

The component performs several key roles:

• aesthetic finishing of the lower part of the rear bumper,
• maintaining the continuity of the body lines characteristic of the E91 Touring,
• integration with the factory PDC parking system,
• protection of the bumper structure section against minor mechanical damage.

Color and visual fitment

The trim panel is finished in the Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 shade, which was a factory paint used on the BMW 3 Series. As a result, the component fits well into the body styling, especially in vehicles with the same paint code, reducing the need for additional painting or color corrections.

The metallic structure of the paint ensures consistency with other body panels, and the properly matched shade allows for a uniform appearance of the rear of the vehicle after repair or replacement of a damaged bumper section.

Installation characteristics

The rear bumper trim panel has been prepared for installation at the factory mounting points in the BMW 3 Series E91 Touring. This means that:

• the geometry of the component is adapted to the original rear bumper,
• the layout of the PDC holes corresponds to the factory sensor positions,
• the shape of the edges allows for correct alignment with adjacent body panels.

This type of solution facilitates the work of a body and paint shop and shortens the time required to fit the part, which is particularly important during post-accident repairs or the replacement of worn-out components.

Condition and practical application

The component comes from disassembly and is offered as a used BMW rear bumper trim panel. This is a good solution for drivers who want to restore the correct appearance and functionality of the rear bodywork while maintaining a reasonable repair budget. The original BMW origin promotes the maintenance of proper fitment and compatibility with the vehicle's factory systems.
