any one know the part # for the main plastic wire mesh in the bumper? Some metal pipe hit my bumper and broke the mesh:mad:

Check this out: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...05&hg=51&fg=15

Depending on which one you need, it looks like it's some variation 2, or 4. But you said the "main plastic wire mesh" so I'm guessing you meant the center one, right? If so: GRID, CENTER OPEN - 51117175298

The smaller ones are:
OPEN GRID, LEFT - 51117154721
OPEN GRID, RIGHT - 51117154722
OPEN GRID, RIGHT (for vehicles with Active Cruise Control) - 51117175312

I looked those up for an E92. If you want to retrace the steps to be sure just visit realoem.com and select your vehicle type / date etc. and then select VEHICLE TRIM, then BUMPER and you should get something similar to the link above.

Not sure personally. I'd imagine they snap-in the same way the kidney grills do... the diagram doesn't seem to indicate that any screws are involved.

Otherwise maybe someone else can chime in or just call the dealer and ask the service/parts dept if the mesh grid just snaps in

I swapped it out today, carefully....
