These are reinforced aftermarket front bumper support brackets designed to replace the very fragile OEM BMW plastic brackets that commonly crack or break during removal or normal use.
These brackets were personally designed using OEM geometry and 3D printed in PETG Carbon Fiber (PETG-CF) for significantly increased strength and durability compared to factory parts.
๐ง Key Features
- Much stronger than OEM โ PETG-CF is far more impact- and fatigue-resistant than factory plastic
- Direct replacement design using factory mounting locations
- Left & Right set included (L and R marked on parts)
- Designed from OEM BMW reference parts
- BMW Part Numbers: 51117272555 (Left) / 51117272556 (Right)

โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE โ PLEASE READ
