It may be a 2006 thing, as I said I enter my serial number,(last seven VIN characters) and it gives me my vehicle precisely. The front bar definitely shows the double bracket fitting.
I did say it was a PITA when it comes to getting some things for it

Can't understand why your car would be such a huge deviation from other production runs - makes zero sense in terms of the BMW production line.
But what I would do it get the bracket I referenced above (from eBay or from a wrecker - any E53 facelift front bumper will have two) and fit it to your bumper, cutting the damaged section off the "weird" long bracket you have. Externally and functionally, it'll be a perfect match.
