Rear bumper protector

[DAC17]

Does anyone know where/if I can buy a rubber or vinyl cover for the top of the rear bumper on a 2005 X5 3.0i? A lot of cars have these, that just stick to the top of the bumper with 3M tape.

Thanks.

Yes, I got mine off eBay, as well, from the same seller that UCrew linked. The installation was super easy, and I like the look very much. It does not stick on with 3M tape; it has an adhesive already applied.

i had one on my '01 3.0.. ended up never ever using it so i didn't get another one for the current 4.4.

i got my old one from crevier.. don't remember how much but it was an easy install...

Does this have the BMW "lettering" on it?.....Thanks

I always had one of these with my other 4WD and vans, but never got one for the X because the tailgate comes out, and I never have to use my bumper as support, so I never got one.

Yes, on the left side. Very subtle "tone on tone". Here is a shot I took just now for you. Hard to position the glare of the flash so that it doesn't obscure the detail, but maybe it will help.
