WTB e53 Brush Guard or Bull Bar
Hello Everyone,
Greetings from Northern Virginia. Our well maintained 2003 4.6is (just completed the $2.7k engine timing cover gasket replacement) recently had its nose clipped by an aggressively driven F-150 driver illegally passing through an intersection. Please see photos.
BMW can get everything needed except the BMW Accessory "Brush Guard" (BMW's current name) aka "Bull Bar" (RealOEM.com), which has been discontinued. Both sources list them in black and in chrome, with or without the Sport Package. I have no idea if the bar itself, or just the mounting hardware, is actually different with the Sport Package. Could anyone help clarify this for me?
Part #s are: 51100018007, black; 51100305701, chrome (both w/o Sport Package). 51100008553, black; 51100305699, chrome (both w/Sport Package). Current new prices listed by the appraiser (and some online retailers) are $70 for the black, $170 for the chrome; BMW lists no prices.
If you have one available in good or repairable condition (ours is nearly cut in two), please message me back. I am a serious buyer. Thanks!
