X6 bumper/metal gap

Genechen22 · 11-16-2019, 09:20 PM

Can someone tell me if this is normal? Dealer won't fix and states that it's the way it is.

It's not normal. Is it OEM though?

Genechen22 · 11-16-2019, 09:24 PM

OEM, just brought the car new.

The clips are not secured. I had the same gap when I installed my m performance diffuser thought I had a defected one but after carefully pushing it in with the palm of my hand from left,mid then right you can hear it latch on which then sits flush.

Dealer actually took them off and reinstalled them, same gap. Or should I not trust that they removed and reinstalled it?

I did see this on a couple of X6 without the M sport.

Even though its non m sport the clips have the same function its defintely not normal. If it can't be pushed in correctly it could be due to an accident which then the dealer should replace.

As 201 stated, not right. Clips are clearly not seated in correctly.

Ask for the shop foreman, and talk to him in person and ask him to do it while you are there.

Check the other cars on the lot - they still should have some F16 left.

Called in BMW NA and they will schedule a person to take a look at this.

Is there anyone who has the non M sport X6 that can comment on this gap and if they see it on their car as well?

I have a fully loaded Pure Elegance 50i edition... I have no such gap... All of the panels are super tight where they join... Yours is definitely messed up for sure.. I will post a photo.. I hope it helps.. Good luck.
