 ran m-tech bumper over cement block in lot



was pulling my '04 330CI with the M-Tech Bumper into a parking space today at Marina Square in San Leandro when I pulled in too quick and popped the holster out of my passenger fog lamp. Besides that the housing for my fog light also broke and my bumper gaps are now misaligned. I need advice, should I just repair the fog lamp or repair that and also get the bumper repaired too. Is it safe to drive with a misaligned bumper? Thanks!!!

Besides the fog light hsg., you may have just cracked one of the bumper
guides (there is one on each side). These are plastic and cost anywhere
from $5-$12 each at your dealer. I had this happen to my car even though
I have the regular front bumper, and it was just one of the guides that had
cracked. You can drive around with the bumper as is, but I wouldn't let it
go too long as it adds stress to other parts and could lead to more problems.
