E53 front bull bar?

Guys how much do you think a bull bar like this is worth? Are they still being sold somewhere new?



Screenshot is from a famous russian duology Bumer (Бумер).

I have an E53 with this bar but I'm not sure yet if I'll keep it so I'm thinking maybe it's worth keeping it in case I buy a new E53 someday or sell it separately... This is an original BMW part with numbers.

That's the underride bar, not the bull bar.

Not sold new and rare-sauce used. Expect 1k minimum IF you ever see one with hardware.

I have a chrome bull bar. Came attached to the X. Not sure if it is OE or aftermarket. Had no idea they were worth some money.

The bull bars are not worth as much as that under ride kit that is pictured. That thing is unobtainium with all of the mounting hardware. I keep my eyes open for a truck with it so I can buy the donor X5, remove the bar/hardware, and then sell the donor X5. As a separate piece it's usually north of $1000.

The problem with the used ones is people don’t pull all the mounting hardware. A bunch of very specific brackets. So you end up with a very pretty paperweight.

I had mine from a local part out, same thing, had to specifically ask for all brackets. Ultimately decided not to use it on my 4.8

I was one of the lucky few to find a buyer and even more at that one that had a guy drive cross country (by timing) for it since shipping SUUUUX.
