Bumper parts
I was rear ended a month ago. It has been in the collision shop since then awaiting for an Msport bumper. Just got a call that it may take another month to get it from Germany as it has to be made to order.
Any thoughts? |

the BMW dealer they are ordering the parts from most likely doesn't have any of those in stock or in the regional parts warehouse so they have to order it from BMW. X5 parts however would come from US I would think and not Germany but I could be wrong I dont know.
shoot Brit who runs our parts dept PARTS@STBMW an email at brit@bmwpartspros.com and see if our warehouse in our region may have access to one and if not she can also tell you about lead times on parts im sure. she knows all about these types of topics and is a great source of knowledge with anything BMW OEM parts wise

Bad news, it is truly back ordered and will probably take a month to get the parts. For those of you that have this situation happened to you, what are my options? Should I leave my X5 at the collision shop for a month or more?

If you have any influence with BMW or know anyone that actually does, this issue is now 1.5-2 years overdue for being solved.

as far as influence goes, I would think that any issues that are problem most likely are known and are made with some sort of economic reasoning as Im sure you will agree. ill have to see what sort of impact it has been to us next time I chat with Brit Anything i find out ill def report back for sure

It's never as simple as straight logic like that with large organizations. Considering that all X5 manufacturing parts are already flowing into SC, it would have been pretty cost effective to structure some % excess inventory for replacement/repair parts stock, yet that's not the case. All large organizations have communication problems and siloed departmentalizations ("not my problem"), but BMW NA and BMW AG have to contend with built-in arrogance as well.

Be aware that I have an interior light module on order for 7 months now. BMW NA said they can do nothing about it. I opened a case with BBB and the attorney general recently.

Hate to say this, but a month sounds about right. I backed my one month old M50i into my driveway gate back in December (Long story not worth getting into) and the bumper was backordered then, too. The shop in Bay Area was able to get another bumper which was the same thing, but had a different part number, a little faster. The original repair took about 3-4 weeks. (But then they botched the paint job and tried to say a huge sag in the paint wasn't there, then somehow scratched a roof rail, and then messed up a bunch of interior panels when the pulled the ceiling panel down to replace the rails, so the entire process took like 6 months and 4 trips in the shop because of backordered parts and Covid. This was an authorized BMW repair shop, too!!)
I also just had to have my master cylinder replaced under warranty, and that took 10 days total because it was also backordered. If they gave you a loaner, like they did me, I'd say let them keep it. But if you need it, then go pick it up. |

Y'all, my car was taken into the collision center mid-August and I have YET to get it back. First it was the exhaust, then the rear bumper and now bumper trim pieces. From what i'm told, the part numbers that are being pulled up from my VIN are arriving a month later and a handful of those part are not fitting or completely different parts. The tow hitch that was ordered from my VIN was not even a US spec hitch, from my understanding.

Ive gone through two insurance company rentals but maxed out for everything. So BMW "graciously" let me use a X2. Which I was thankful for, but after three months. Its getting annoying as hell. So far my rental count is 1 Dodge Journey 2 Nissan Rouges 1 Mercedes GLA 1 Range Rover Velar (paid extra out of pocket for this, otherwise would have been a Nissan Rouge) Currently in a X2. |
