318ti M-spec rear bumper Q
 
Someone hit my car from back (not serious) last weekend when I parked it in a public car park. I didn't see it until I got home:mad: I sent my car to the panel beater for plastic welding and paint yesterday.

When the car cames back today, I start to exam the work, I never had a chance to take such a close look at the rear bumper until now, then I figured the gap between rear bumper and trunk lid is quite wide. I am not sure if it's the panel guy didn't fit it back properly or they came with such a wide gap? It's would be a shame if BMW made it like that, but if it's the other case I'll have to send my car back to the panel shop again.

Do you have any pictures?

well, there shouldn't be a gap between the bumper and trunk lid, there should be a panel in between the two, although I might just be reading it wrong, definitely post pics

The gap between the body panel and the rear bumper can be fixed by adjustment. Remove the bumper strips, loosen the bolts and tighten them back up when you've moved everything to its right place.
