Purpose and fitment for BMW X5 E70

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the BMW X5 E70 model, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle ensures compatibility with original guides, reinforcements, and mounting elements, which simplifies service work and reduces the need for additional modifications.

The component is prepared for use with the PDC parking sensor system, ensuring that the functionality of the parking assistant is maintained after replacing a damaged bumper. This solution allows for a technically correct vehicle repair while maintaining user comfort.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color and aesthetic value

The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 finish is characteristic of many BMW X5 E70 configurations and blends well with the model's body lines. The metallic structure of the paint highlights the car's silhouette, and the accurately matched shade makes it easier to blend with the existing paint on the vehicle, which is essential for accident and restoration repairs.

For body shops and end users, this means the possibility of reducing the scope of paint work, provided the condition of the coating is acceptable relative to the rest of the body. Using the original color promotes a consistent vehicle appearance after repair.

Technical and functional characteristics

The rear bumper belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, meaning it serves both an aesthetic and structural function in the rear area of the body. The design intended for installation on the BMW X5 E70 enables proper load distribution during minor parking collisions and correct alignment of the body lines relative to the tailgate and rear fenders.

Adaptation for PDC sensor installation allows for the preservation of factory driver assistance system functionality. Thanks to this, after replacing the bumper, it is possible to restore full parking system efficiency, provided the equipment is correctly transferred and installation is performed according to service procedures.

Used condition and service application

The item is offered as a used part, which is a beneficial solution for users and workshops looking for original components at a reasonable price. In the case of BMW X5 E70 accident repairs, using such a bumper allows for the preservation of factory body geometry and correct fitment with adjacent panels, while simultaneously reducing material costs.

A used rear bumper will work well both for standard replacement of a damaged element and for vehicle reconstruction after major body repairs, where matching original mounting points and maintaining the correct body line is essential.
