I ordered a REAR M-tech bumper (51-12-2-498-505) for my E39 540i and in the course of shipping it was slightly damaged. Basically a small piece of one of the corners broke off cleanly. I still have the broken piece, which is smaller than a penny. I filed a claim with the shipper and will be reimbursed so will be buying a new bumper locally instead.

I plan on putting the bumper on Ebay in the next few days unless someone here gives me a fair offer for it. To recap, it is a BRAND NEW, OEM unpainted M-Tech bumper for an E39. You would also need the exhaust insert, towing flap, and moldings since I will be keeping them. I have no idea how easy this would be to fix but a body shop could probably do it and there is no bumper material missing since it was a clean break.

Because of the mishap with shipping and its potential cost, I prefer local pickup in the NY/NJ/CT area. Will try to post pics this weekend for everyone.

I would probably start the bidding on Ebay around $175-200.

I will try to post pics this weekend. Shipping was VERY expensive using Fedex, UPS, etc because the box is almost six feet long. I ended up using Greyhound but I am paranoid about any further damages being done during shipping.

No PDC....

ooh...I could fix that so easily...I'd buy it but unfortunately you aren't selling it with the trim and filler peices, so I guess I'll just hold out for that guy in the group buy section to make a rear bumper to go along with his front. I'd buy it maybe 175 shipped...I dunno, I'd have to see how much the other peices are...

EDIT: well, I checked and for the trim peices total it would run me around 40 bucks or so...and the exhaust insert is around 75 bucks...so that's about 115 bucks there...If I could end up spending around 300 or so total then it might be worth it to me...

EDIT2: Oh nevermind, I see you'd prefer local pickup, and NY isn't exactly local...that's cool, I'll just wait it out for the group buy (I seem to be wanting to spend money I don't have anyways :P )
