I had a very quick look round a 56 plate 730 at a garage today, i am going back tomorrow when i have more time for a proper look.

The only thing i spotted today was that on one side where the rear bumper meets the wheel arch that it was very slightly out of line, probably only a couple of millimeters.

if i pressed the corner of the bumper with one finger i could push it in line but it all felt very solid and had no sign of damage.

Would this be down to a loose nut, general wear and tear or that the bumper has been off for repair and not put back on right.

TBH, you're asking the impossible!

It could be down to any one of your suggestions. Without inspecting the car in person, no one on here is going to be able to tell you exactly which one is most likely to be the culprit (and even with an inspection of the car it may not be possible to tell which it is).
