I need a new front bumper for my E39

[sparks_E39]

It's cracked and a bit bent underneath, been like it for a while and I desperately want the car looking perfect even though you can't really see it. It's a 1999 SE. I may take this opportunity to try and fit a facelift SE bumper or source an Alpina one as they look better imo and give the front greater depth. Any ideas apart from the obvious eBay listings I could source an OEM one? And would I have problems fitting a newer style bumper, with the different fog lights? Thanks.

Probably sold now, but there was an Alpina front bumper for sale on here a while ago.

The Alpina front bumper is an SE front bumper with an Alpina splitter on it.

Thanks, that bumper was on BMW5 but I belive it's gone now. Would an 2001 onwards SE bumper fit my car without trouble with the fogs?

You would need new fogs, but it'd be otherwise dooable.

Thanks Fox, I think that is the only viable option apart from another pre facelift SE bumper, as finding a good Alpina bumper/splitter is proving difficult and I don't want to go aftermarket.

Sport bumper is the obvious choice?

[sparks_E39]

Yes but then I'd have to get bigger wheels as it would look odd with the turbines

If I could get wheels bumpers and lights for a grand I'd be happy- but I'd have to do it a bit at a time over the next few months.

Alpina splitter to hide the damage?

That would be ideal but they seem rare. Do they just bolt on?

[sparks_E39]

Might have found me a splitter- it's green but thats just a minor detail How much do you think I should be looking for a professional re-paint and fit? Sorry, I'm rubbish at this stuff.
