2011 rear bumper retrofit...?
 

hi there i have the 2009 e70, since my rear bumper got scratched up a little from a minor fender bender, i thought about replacing it with the 2011 one. but from this picture it seems like the rear bumper and the rear fenders are in one piece now. what do you think? i posted two pics to compare.

apples to oranges :stickpoke

what do you mean?

I see 2 pics. Rear of X5 and front of Corvette. That is apples to oranges!

the whole bumper begins where the rear fender ends, it is a large piece like there is the front fender that is part of the front bumper 2pc.

WTF? you see a vette? i swear to god i see a hamann e70 cuz that's the pic i linked.

Nope - the second picture is a Corvette.

then why do i see a hamann e70?????????????

the link even says "http://img2.netcarshow.com/Hamann-BMW_X5_E70_2007_1280x960_wallpaper_09.jpg"

Well, I see a Corvette in second picture.

That may be, but when I copy that link and paste it into my browser, I get a picture of a corvette, even though the pasted link has "hamann" in it.

Try cutting and pasting that link into your browser and see what happens.


P.S. I just did a test... if you paste that link into Internet Explorer, the MS browser, you get the X5 picture. If you past the identical link into the Firefox browser, you get the picture of a Corvette.

Go figure...

I'm on firefox and see the hamann bumper in pic 2.

The Corvette is now gone.

Doesn't look like they are compatible.

Too funny. I'm using IE8 and I see the Vette in the second photo.

It looks like you use the new bumper, but like you said, it looks like it's one-piece with the rear fender too. Probably just more expensive.

I saw a vette and then copied the link to the address bar and saw the E70. Now it is E70 on the post. Very bizzare.

Anyway. Looks like it is doable but would need those smaller fenders in the back to be removed. May need some modification.

Actually, if you read the text on the image, it tells you that image is hotlinked, that you should use an embed code instead.

Ok.... vette is still there...

how many vettes and X5s should I see now???:wow:
