Does Replacing the BMW Grille Require Removing the Bumper?
1 Answers
Replacing the BMW grille does not require removing the bumper. Function of the Bumper Component: The car bumper (also known as the crash beam) is located in the front and rear areas of the vehicle. It is designed to prevent external damage from affecting the vehicle's safety systems and has the capability to reduce injuries to passengers during high-speed collisions. Nowadays, it is increasingly designed for pedestrian protection. Origin and Definition of the Bumper: The car bumper is a safety device that absorbs and mitigates external impacts, protecting the front and rear parts of the vehicle body. Twenty years ago, car bumpers were primarily made of metal materials, using steel plates over 3mm thick pressed into U-shaped channels, with chrome-plated surfaces. They were riveted or welded to the frame longitudinal beams and had a significant gap from the body, appearing as an additional component.
