E90 Msport Front and Rear Bumper Swap Question!

RWWD209 · 04-04-2023, 12:01 PM

Hello all,
I’m doing an Msport Front and Rear Bumper swap on my e90. Got all of the parts matched up, but I can’t find what these two parts are for. Any help will be great appreciated.

Those are headlight washer support mounts.

They go behind the bumper where the washer nozzle extends.
It’s there so the bumper doesn’t bend when the nozzle retracts with the cover.

Where did you source your bumpers from for the conversion?

I bought my bumpers new OEM off a guy off eBay; it was I think $600 for the bumper and maybe $300 in shipping because they were Euro bumpers and shipping from Austria

If you buy a new OEM bumper with the washer nozzle cutouts, they will already include the washer reinforcements. I don't know if they can be sourced independently but I don't see why not as long as they have a BMW part number (check RealOEM)
