For BMW E39 5-series M5 Style PolyPropylene or PP CARBON Rear Bumper

Title:

E39 M5 Rear Bumper PP or new PP Carbon Fiber Infused

PP bumpers remain standard, PP carbon are higher structural integrity with the higher tensile strength of PP (without the brittle nature of ABS)

Application (Please consult your owner's manual for your application fitment type):

Fits ALL 1997-2003 BMW 5-series (E39)

Product Description (may describe some optional equipment) :

PP with Carbon Infusion ship in boxes with 52008 part numbers.

PP standard bumpers ship in boxes with a  33-XXXX part number

All ABS bumpers are no longer being made, the PP 52008 part number is the substitution.

Should you choose the more expensive bumper?

1) Is fit and quality important to you?
2) Does the shop working on your car have a lot of experience? if not, choose the PP bumper with carbon
3) If you have ANY doubts about fitment, choose the carbon infused bumper.

Should you choose the less expensive bumper?

1) If you are ok with your shop doing a little bit of "extra" work in SOME cases, yes
2) If you are ok with a little waviness and 1/8" gap at the fender area
3) If you are on a budget.

Both bumper types (PP-C and PP) come from Triple-AAA ISO9001 Factories. They are both guaranteed free of any defects and are proven to be as resilient as OE bumpers for a fraction of the cost.

What is Polypropylene or PP?
Polypropylene (PP) is a linear hydrocarbon polymer, expressed as CnH2n. PP, like polyethylene (see HDPE, L/LLDPE) and polybutene (PB), is a polyolefin or saturated polymer.

Polypropylene is one of those most versatile polymers available with applications, both as a plastic and as a fiber, in virtually all of the plastics end-use markets.

Automotive use
In the automotive sector PP is utilized as a monomaterial solution for automotive interiors. The monomaterial dashboard is becoming increasingly achievable, PP film cushioning, film skins, and powder slush molding and even blow molded parts with integral PP textile covers are emerging.

Bumpers, cladding, and exterior trim are also available manufactured from polypropylene. Polypropylene developed for such applications provides low coefficient of linear thermal expansion and specific gravity, high chemical resistance and good weatherability, processability and impact/stiffness balance. Improvements with color-at-the-press and pre-colored PP have also reduced or eliminated the need for painting in some applications.

PP does not present stress-cracking problems and offers excellent electrical and chemical resistance at higher temperatures.

Benefits:

• Improved Aggressive Look

• Aerodynamic Improvements

PAINT SERVICES

We now offer paint services for your conveince.  There are a lot of benefits to prepainting the bumpers.

The main benefits are:

1) Bumper prepainting is less expensive that where you are located usually.

2) Bumper comes ready to install 

3) Bumper paint is PPG/Glasurit quality

4) Extra layers of clear coat is applied to insure safety.

5) We apply factory quality paint 2 X Layers + 3X Layers of clear coat for shipped bumpers and 2X layers of clear coat for pick up bumpers

There are however some key points as a buyer you need to be aware of:

1) Paint match is factory code only, if your car is 12 years old, we recommend you send us a tow cover or paint sample for best quality match.

2) Paint match is not going to be 1000% perfect, it may be a slight shade lighter or darker (not noticeable unless you look for it) and will require 3 weeks to set.

3) Once the bumper is painted, you cannot receive a refund for the bumper if it arrives broken or scratched - we make EVERY effort to package them in a better way, however in some cases, accidents happen.

4) You should buff off the extra protective layer of clear coat, once it's installed.

5) You should consider asking to add insurance to your shipment.
