2023 X3 Rear Bumper Problems

[Louis S.]

The black plastic insert in my rear bumper gets dislodged with the slightest pressure.  I hit it ever so slightly with my knee when assessing the cargo area.

I've had it back to BMW twice to fix but it keeps happening.  Have others had this problem?  Can it be fixed.

Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum

Not sure which bit your having problems with but I would be tempted to try a little spot of Super Glue or Body Bonding glue

Dave, the piece i

I'm referring to is about 4" tall and runs the width of the bumper. It seems to be a systemic problem.  The clips do not hold it in place. Has this problem been reported previously?  As I said BMW has tried to fix it twice and even put in a new black insert.

I have never come across this before and dont recall any other posts outlining this type of issue.

If your Dealer has tried to fix the problem by fitting a new insert and it has made no difference my thought would be that the Bumper is out of tolerance. May be a discussion with BMW UK Customer services would bring some support for both you and your Dealer, unless the Dealer has already gone that route ? 

Good Luck
