why does the bumper flare out on this 135i ?

[djpeetur]

i dont think there are tabs in that area and i looked inside to see if anything was pushing it out but wasnt. so i just grabbed a pole and place pressure there for now see if it goes back to form.

Probably can't tell without taking it apart.

i applied pressure there with a long pole with my shin guard so it spreads out the pressure on the bumper against my garage wall and hopefully it takes form to that. i dont want to get a new bumper =/

[djpeetur]

yea i did. it just seems like it was warped like that because i guess the bumpers has been repaired.? but all the tabs are in place just that area is curving out. so yea ill see after 12 hrs if the pressure helped. if not ill probably take it apart to look.

Take a look in the second pic of my bumper DIY. There are no clips or fasteners in that area that snap in.

Had the exact same thing on my car. It got fixed under warranty.

did they tell you why it did this?

Although it shows up as a misalignment at that spot, the cause can be at a different location. From the posted picture it looks like misalignment at the passenger side headlight assembly - lower edge - as well.
