Number Plate Base BMW E46 3 Series Std Bumper Facelift is a bumper component designed specifically for the BMW E46 3 Series facelift models with a standard bumper. This part acts as the mounting base for the vehicle’s number plate, providing a stable and secure platform that fits into the front or rear bumper assembly.

The base is essential for keeping the number plate firmly attached to the vehicle’s bumper without damaging its surface. When replacing this part, confirm it matches the facelift design and standard bumper style to ensure compatibility with the BMW E46 body shape. Buyers should verify the condition and style of their original number plate base to compare with this listing.

This component does not include mounting clips, brackets, or other accessories, so additional fittings from the vehicle or other sources may be required. It is primarily a structural part that fits into the bumper area prepared for a number plate on the facelifted E46.

  • Part type: bumper-mounted number plate base
  • Designed for BMW E46 3 Series facelift with standard bumper
  • Check current plate holder style to confirm match

If this repair may need matching clips, brackets, lights, panels or more than one part, check Hyundai Sonata 1998 Model Front Bumper, Quick Repair Bundle or Request a Part before ordering.
