51110051069 Upper - Front Bumper Impact Absorption Component

Specifically engineered for 2016-2018 BMW X1 F48 and F49 models, the 51110051069 Upper serves as a critical energy absorption element within the front bumper upper section assembly. This structural buffer component effectively distributes impact forces across the bumper reinforcement beam during low-speed collisions while maintaining precise alignment between the bumper cover and underlying chassis structures. Manufactured from high-density thermoplastic polyolefin, this energy management component maintains its structural integrity across extreme temperature variations from -40°C to +120°C. The precisely contoured design integrates seamlessly with both hole-equipped and non-hole bumper configurations while preserving factory sensor clearances. Reinforced mounting points ensure vibration-resistant attachment to the bumper reinforcement beam while integrated alignment guides maintain consistent panel gaps. This essential safety component protects critical front-end systems including radiator supports, headlight assemblies, and wiring harnesses by absorbing collision energy before it reaches more expensive components.

Vehicle Compatibility Specifications

The 51110051069 Upper bumper buffer is engineered for precise fitment on 2016-2018 BMW X1 F48 and F49 models regardless of bumper hole configuration. This component serves as direct replacement for original parts referenced under numbers 51110051068 and 51117354815, maintaining identical dimensions and mounting characteristics. Compatible with all engine variants including sDrive18i, sDrive18d, sDrive20i, xDrive20i, xDrive25i and xDrive25d configurations. The buffer interfaces correctly with both standard and M Sport bumper assemblies while preserving functionality of parking sensors, camera systems, and radar-based safety equipment. Installation requires no modifications to existing bumper reinforcement beams or attachment points. Verify BMW X1 production dates between October 2015 and June 2018 to ensure proper application, particularly for vehicles manufactured during mid-2016 model year transition periods when bumper designs were updated.

Technical Specifications

Manufactured through high-pressure injection molding using impact-modified thermoplastic polyolefin, the 51110051069 Upper achieves optimal balance between energy absorption and structural rigidity. The material formulation incorporates UV stabilizers that prevent polymer degradation from sun exposure while maintaining flexibility in sub-zero conditions. Precision-engineered crush zones collapse predictably during impacts between 5-15 km/h, reducing repair costs by protecting adjacent components. Mounting interfaces maintain ±0.25mm dimensional tolerance to ensure perfect alignment with factory bumper reinforcement beams. Integrated stainless steel reinforcement plates at critical stress points prevent fastener pull-through during collision events. The component features factory-correct matte black finish that blends with surrounding underbody components while ribbed surface textures increase structural rigidity without adding weight. All contact surfaces incorporate vibration-dampening properties that reduce noise transmission to the passenger compartment.

Compatibility Assurance

Compatible with 2016-2018 BMW X1 F48 and F49 platform vehicles. This product is designed to match functional and dimensional characteristics of original components for specified applications.
