Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented rear bumper is dedicated for installation on the rear body section of BMW F20, F21, and F22 family vehicles equipped with a PDC ultrasonic parking sensor system. The component is an integral part of the maneuvering safety system – its design provides appropriate mounting points for sensors, enabling their correct seating and stable operation without interference.

Thanks to its factory-intended design for a specific BMW generation, the bumper ensures proper fitment with the body lines, lights, and other body panels. This allows for the preservation of the original geometry of the vehicle's rear, which is important for both aesthetics and the correct distribution of forces in the event of minor parking collisions.

Valencia Orange Metallic B44 color

The Valencia Orange Metallic B44 finish is characteristic of dynamic BMW F-series configurations and emphasizes the sporty character of the body. Using the original paint shade makes it easier to match the component to the vehicle's existing paintwork, limiting the scope of additional paint jobs or allowing for their precise planning.

The metallic structure of the paint ensures a consistent visual effect with factory body panels, which is essential for post-accident repairs and body restorations. For users who pay attention to detail, maintaining paint code consistency translates into a more professional final result after installation.

PDC system and integration with ultrasonic sensors

The bumper has been designed to work with the factory PDC system, which uses ultrasonic sensors to monitor the space behind the vehicle. Properly prepared mounting points for the sensors allow for their stable seating, which helps maintain the correct operating angle and obstacle detection range.

Proper fitment of the body component to the PDC system is important for the accuracy of warning signals during parking. The correct geometry of the bumper minimizes the risk of false readings and ensures predictable operation of the parking assistant, which translates into comfort during daily vehicle use.

Condition, origin, and benefits of using OEM parts

The offered bumper is a part originating from the BMW production line, which means it maintains factory standards of workmanship, geometry, and compatibility with other body components. As a used item, it may show signs of wear typical for this class of components, however, its construction remains suitable for re-installation on a vehicle after appropriate preparation.

Using an original rear bumper instead of a replacement component helps reduce fitment issues often encountered with aftermarket parts. This facilitates body and paint work, shortens installation time, and helps maintain a consistent look for the entire rear section of the body.

Selection and compatibility verification using OEM numbers and color codes

When selecting a rear bumper for a BMW F-series, it is crucial to verify compatibility with the specific body version and vehicle equipment (e.g., the presence of the PDC system and the correct paint color). In practice, this means checking the OEM part number and paint code to avoid installation problems and differences in paint shade.
