Hello All,
After attempting to complete the diy for fixing e46 bumper sagging, I have found that one of my plastic brackets (C clamp looking figure) top rail is partially cracked. I noticed that the particular piece on the bumper had a part number 51 11 7 893 329 . But i could not find it anywhere on google. Is there a fix for this? Can i replace the bracket? Do i seriously need to get a new bumper? A pic below is what is cracked. thanks.

Dane,
ecs tuning gives me no luck. It displays a different part and number than requested. Thanks though.

Are you sure you have the right part #? It looks real to me, but if RealO can't find it, I'd be hard pressed to imagine it's valid...
Has anyone ever come across a real part # that RealOEM can't find?
Trancenation,
Are you sure you wrote down the part # correctly? Perhaps a number or two got dislexi-sized?

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I need another pic. Isn't that part of the pork chop?

Yes, I'm sure. The part number that I listed above is for the driver side. The passenger side also has a different part number and ends with 330 instead of 329. Maybe they only come with the bumper cover?
Also, On the mtech2 front bumper parts diagram, it doesn't look like the part i'm looking for is defined.

If it has a part #, it's available separately. BMW doesn't assign part numbers to things you can't buy individually, which is why this is unusual that the part # provided doesn't seem to exist.
Call the dealer and provide them the part #; perhaps their system is a little bit more comprehensive.

Dane,
I'm currently at work so I just used google to find a picture. So it's the whole plastic portion that i need with the c clamp.

I've found a link to where someone mentioned the same part number, but I have no idea what they are saying.

I am 99% sure you cant get just that part. 1 reason, look how it is attached to the outer bumper skin. Melted rivets or tabs, so it would be nearly impossible to remove that piece and attach a new piece.
I would try epoxying a metal tab etc and see if you can fix it that way, otherwise new bumper.
