51117052398 Panel | OEM-Spec Front Bumper Reinforcement for BMW X6 E71/E72
51117052398 Panel: Structural Reinforcement for X6 Front Bumper Systems
Designed as the foundational support for BMW E71/E72 X6 front bumper assemblies, the 51117052398 panel provides crash energy management through its hydroformed aluminum reinforcement structure. This 51117052398 Panel features laser-cut mounting points that precisely align with BMW's Active Pedestrian Protection sensor brackets and adaptive cruise control radar modules. The ribbed cross-section design absorbs impact forces while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature ranges from -30°C to 120°C. Factory-matched corrosion protection includes zinc-nickel electrocoating and cavity wax injection ports for long-term rust prevention.
The panel's tapered edges prevent stress concentration at bumper attachment points, accommodating both standard and M Sport aerodynamic undertrays without modification. Integrated crush zones deploy predictably in low-speed impacts to minimize collateral damage to headlight assemblies and cooling modules. The 51117052398 Panel maintains precise 2.5mm clearance from oil coolers and intercooler piping across all compatible engine configurations. Its asymmetrical ventilation channels optimize brake cooling airflow while preventing water ingress into electrical components.
Multi-Generation Vehicle Fitment
The 51117052398 serves as the structural interface between chassis and bumper components across all E71 X6 variants from 2008-2014 production years. Compatibility extends to both left-hand and right-hand drive configurations without requiring adjustment. The panel maintains proper alignment with headlight washer systems, parking sensor harnesses, and front camera modules regardless of optional equipment packages.
Engine-Specific Compatibility
- N54/N55 3.0L (35iX models)
- N63 4.4L V8 (50iX/M50dX)
- M57N2 3.0L (30d/35d/40d)
- Hybrid drivetrain (E72)
Model Year Coverage

- 2009-2014 E72 Hybrid
- Pre-LCI and LCI versions
- All global market specifications
Installation requires verification of bumper part numbers due to mid-cycle updates in 2012. The 51117052398 Panel accommodates both original and replacement bumper covers without compromising pedestrian safety system functionality. The universal mounting design ensures proper fitment with or without night vision camera brackets and radar-based driver assistance systems.
Engineering Specifications
Structural Integrity
Multi-chamber aluminum extrusion withstands 12kN impact forces while reducing weight by 38% compared to steel equivalents. The honeycomb reinforcement pattern distributes collision energy across six load paths to preserve cabin integrity during offset impacts.
Corrosion Protection
Triple-layer surface treatment combines chromate conversion coating with cathodic electrodeposition primer. Self-healing polymer layers at weld points prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
Thermal Management
Perforated airflow channels reduce underhood temperatures by 11% during high-load conditions. Heat-resistant powder coating maintains adhesion integrity at sustained 150°C exposure levels.
Compatible with: 2008-2014 BMW X6 E71 and E72 Hybrid vehicles requiring front bumper reinforcement panel 51117052398. Not affiliated with or endorsed by BMW AG.
