Bull bar or not?!
I am new to the forum and this is my first posting. I have a question. Bull bar or not? I live in New York City and you know how parking is there. IT'S TIGHT! That means people are going to bump into you when they park. I am thinking about a bull bar, just to protect the front bumper. I've seen some on X5's but it looks hugh! Pros and cons? Which ones would you suggest? Thanks |

I had it on my '01 which was black and I liked the look (I kept the bar flat black). I chose not to put one on my '05 which is Sterling. Didn't seem to go. It's up to you. It really doesn't protect much.

usually they will icrease damage if someone backs into you because the bar will bend at the curves (since they are the weakest point) which will fold that thing onto your hood or headlights

I don't have a bull bar, but I like the look. I don't think they protect much but not sure. Maybe the specs say something about what they really 'do' besides add (or subtract depending on who you are) to the looks.
Good luck and welcome! |
