These brackets are designed to solve the problem of the E46 rear bumpers that dont match up well at the wheel well and lower quarter panel.
These offer up to 6mm of adjustment (see pics), to get that rear bumper cover where it needs to be, and keep it there! The OEM brackets are NOT adjustable.
These brackets have a larger mounting tab to hold the bumper in place. They are are also built far stronger than the OEM brackets. The pictures are of the OEM bracket on the left, and our upgraded brackets on the right. Also pictured is the OEM bracket installed, and the upgraded bracket, and it's adjustment.
