Bad Luck today

A guy hit my beloved 2003 4.6 X5.
Looks like a new front bumper is now needed.
It’s the odd front bumper with the lower valance.
Where the heck am I going to find that?
Only made for 2 years. And rare also.

Bumpers are often rebuilt, not always the best but maybe an option.

Auto Doc in Germany has 4.6is front clips

That sucks!

Check Wolf Auto Parts. They have a pretty good supply of E53 parts.

X5chemist will become famous soon enough
That's my worst fear every time I drive mine around Austin. So many bad drivers. Interesting. I'll have to search for a bumper picture. I don't think I've seen that style.

No Insurance from the driver. I was so mad I just about gave him a beat . I ended up sending him on his way. He really needed a break.
