Installation
Assemble the bumper.
Put on a bumper. Connect the headlight washer hoses, connect the fog lamp connectors.
Insert the bumper into the side rails and press down.
(Figure W—4869) Distance A between bumper and body must be up to 6 mm, apply a spacer and align if necessary. In this position, tighten the 4 bolts -arrows- to 45 Nm.

If required, align bumper flush with body. To do this, use a screwdriver to turn the threaded bushing (narrow outer ring), while holding the inner cover with a second screwdriver. At service stations, the BMW 51 1040 tool is used for this.
Hook the bumper covers on the sides first, and then snap them into place.
