transporting bumpers in a e90

infinite_creations25 · 02-24-2017, 09:20 PM

Just curious if anyone has ever fit a front or rear bumper in a e90? Trying to get away with not renting or finding a second vehicle to pick up a bumper.

Will it not fit in your boot with the seats down?

Fold the passenger seat down and put it in diagonally. It'll fit!

It does fit. Now I'm not sure if this was even a serious question.

I've put a front bumper along the back seat. I had to roll a window down a bit but it fit.

Thanks for the response guys. I guess I can just use my car instead of borrowing a SUV or minivan to pick up the bumper

How is it not a serious question? I ordered a bumper cover which I have yet to go pick up at the local post office. It will be difficult for me to find or borrow a SUV or minivan to use to go pickup the bumper so I just wanted to know if there are people who have personally been able to fit the bumper into their E90.

Your smart for asking the question first. I just showed up in my wrx to pick mine up and it took a decent amount of fanagaling to get in even though it was a hatchback. They seem so much bigger when off the car lol

Did this when I picked up a front bumper...definitely will fit!

infinite_creations25 · 02-25-2017, 02:57 PM

What about the rear bumper? I know it's quite a bit bigger than the front but i'm hoping it'll fit as well

Maybe his rear seats don't fold down

Yes very likely.

Good thing someone already suggested to lay down the front seat

i think you also are over cautious because it is new.

i know i was worried about letting the sides flex

DaZuc · 02-25-2017, 06:00 PM

I've had an E92 bumper in my E90 with the rear seats folded.

Same goes for an E92 both bumpers fit as long as you fold seat

Yeah that definitely played a huge part...did not want to ruin an expensive bumper
