M-sport bumper - side camera holes

[gjowers]

I had to replace my stock m-sport bumper. The body shop that did it cannot find dummy plugs for the holes for the optional cameras on the sides by the wheel wells.

Does anyone know what part number I need or what to do about these holes? They did a great job otherwise. thanks

Thats because there are no dummy plugs for the surround view cameras or the PDC sensors.

There are 3 different bumpers (see the #1s in the diagram below) that you order based on how your M6 is configured. If you don't have surround view, then you order the bumper that doesn't have the holes pre-drilled for the surround view cameras.

You can see what the part nbrs are for how your M6 is optioned in the screen capture below from realoem.com

Looks like they ordered the incorrect bumper...but did a great job of installing it.

Another option instead of replacing the bumper with the correct one based on your options...is to see if the bumper plugs sold to fill license plate holes will fit into the camera holes...and have them paint the bumper plugs the correct color and install them. Here's a link to the Bumper Plugs website: https://bumperplugs.com/bumperplugs-...waAjMuEALw_wcB

Why cant the body shop just fill the holes and paint them. Plugs and workarounds are going to look crafty

It turns out that BMW discontinued the bumpers without camera holes about 6 months ago. The only option is to buy the bumper with camera holes and use a plug kit that BMW sells.

Thanks for the updated info.
