I am doing a preventive maintenance project on my rear bumper and the bolt on my right rear riser rubber piece crumbled off when I tried to remove it, and the other one has corroded into one nut/bolt and wont come off so if anyone has a pair of nice risers right and left side available please let me know, thanks.
 
Steve - if you are just looking for the rubber, I bought a new set of rubber pieces with the mounting studs from BMW last year.
 
Yeah but they are $110 each and since I am keeping my long bumper rubber piece I was hoping for some nice used ones to match but I'll likely have to find a way to sneek new ones in past the guard.

ok, no worries, steve
but the good point if decided today is that i will be able to pick them up later this week while in TCE, otherwise additional shipping must be added to the price
regards
 
Thanks for the replies I have gone ahead and bitten the bullet and ordered from BMW, we'll see if still truly available.
 
keep us posted if they are still available. a year or so ago, they were NOT available ... but they weren't listed as NLA. so hopefully they made some more, and hopefully the new ones fit.
 
Well instead of the usual "not available" or "2 weeks from Germany" email I was expecting, they shipped yesterday. We'll see what shows up, hopefully not 2 of the same side etc. Meanwhile I am removing any surface rust and repainting the insides, I used rust converter then etching primer then Rustoleum Almond paint as an hommage to the original color inside. The oriignal looks like the desert tan camofouge color from ww2. The riser pieces weren't painted inside from the factory but are now. I am also going to clear coat the insides then squirt some cavity wax into the areas where the brackets weld to the bumper pieces.

Risers arrived, all is well albeit pricey at $225 for the pair. I prepped them with a little acetone on a paper towel then used Gummi Pflege. For my long bumper strip which is original to the car, I scrubbed it lightly but thoroughly with acetone and 0000 steel wool (off the car) to remove layers of old dressings, undercoat overspray etc (I once used Forever Black and it looked like crap and wouldn't fully come off till now). After the acetone the rubber was soft and clean. Then I Gummi Pfleged the inside and outside and it came back amazingly well. The technique I use is to apply liberally with the built in sponge, let is soak but not dry, then damp a paper towel with a little then lightly wipe the excess off. After it dried overnight I added another coat.

Newly arrived risers temporarily on the supports:

Now to put all the pieces back together, get this stuff out of the kitchen, and back onto the car!
 
Excellent results there Steve. Nice work!

Looking back, would you still recommend your rubber rejuvenation method of:

"I scrubbed it lightly but thoroughly with acetone and 0000 steel wool (off the car) to remove layers of old dressings, undercoat overspray etc (I once used Forever Black and it looked like crap and wouldn't fully come off till now). After the acetone the rubber was soft and clean. Then I Gummi Pfleged the inside and outside and it came back amazingly well.
