Just attached it. The bumper looks like the one in the picture. No holes for headlight washer or pdc but it has the reflector cutouts. Since you have to get it painted anyways you can just get the reflectors painted if you choose so

Where are the pictures attached? Is this the bumper only or grilles too?

I’ve got to ask, how do you send something that big out of state for $25?

What size is the box?

BMW’s are so large (78” x 28” x 28”) they cannot ship ground, only freight.

Even a Corporate Discount and 1 lb, with those dimensions it’s freight only....and freight doesn’t have $25 rates even for Amazon

That’s why I am asking dimensions of shipment and service type.

Lol I don't see what the problem is. If I'm charging you $25 for shipping a bumper I don't know why anyone would want to argue. Shipping service is FedEx express saver. And obviously you'd get a tracking number and I only do business through PayPal goods and services. And by the looks of your car it doesn't seem that you'd want the bumper, so let's just keep this moving, I don't have time for internet trolls.

I think you are taking this wrong.

I am trying to learn from someone how to ship an item that large by a cheaper method than freight.

As I noted, BMW does not know how to do it - nor any forum sponsors.

Thus you would be providing a service in teaching us how you can get FedEx to accept a box of that size????

Then again, you never did give the box size

a quick google search reveals that fed ex ground size limit is 9' length and 13.75' width and girth. seems like a F30 size bumper should be no problem

actually bigger then i expected fed ex to take by quite a bit

Nope.

“Size guidelines: Maximum size is 108 inches in length and 165 inches in length and girth. Weight guidelines: Individual packages can weigh up to 150 lbs. Packing: Use your own packaging for ground shipments.”

“Measure the width of the package, rounding to the nearest inch. Multiply this number by 2.
Measure the height of the package, rounding to the nearest inch. Multiply this number by 2.
Add these two numbers together. This is your girth.”

Bumper is 72” without packaging.

72+Lx2+Hx2= less than 165 to ship ground for length and girth

165-72 = 93 / 2 = 46.5” or less height AND width combined

From the left or right corner bottom to the top just past the emblem is 22”

From the furthest point back (the point above wheels) to the furthest point forward is also 22”.

That is 44” out of 46.5” left.

And that again, includes NO BOX OR PACKAGING.

Add that in and you are way over, as you cannot send a stand alone bumper.

BMW Bumper Box is 78x28x28, so 28+28 = 56 so it could not ship FedEx ground. I would think they would make Box smaller than these specs to ship ground if it was physically possible.

As thus the bumper fails FedEx Dimensions for anything but freight.

Which is why I am seriously asking the question.

Maybe he has a box made it for it?

Or if you have some way to prove it, I'm sure everybody would be happy then.
