51117158201 License Plate Bracket: Precision Mounting System
Designed as a direct replacement solution, the 51117158201 License Plate Bracket provides secure mounting for front license plates on BMW E70 X5 models. This injection-molded component features UV-stabilized polymer construction that withstands temperature fluctuations from -40°C to 120°C. The pre-drilled holes maintain exact alignment with factory bumper mounting points while accommodating standard license plate dimensions. Reinforced ribs along the bracket's underside prevent warping and maintain structural integrity under highway-speed wind loads. The matte black finish matches OEM aesthetics while resisting fading from sun exposure. Integrated alignment guides ensure proper plate positioning relative to bumper contours and sensor arrays. All fastener receptacles include threaded brass inserts for durable screw retention. The design preserves access to tow hook points and maintains required clearance for parking assist sensors when installed according to vehicle specifications.
Technical Specifications of 51117158201 License Plate Bracket
Material Composition
Manufactured from glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene with impact modifiers that exceed OEM durability standards. The material formulation provides optimal balance between rigidity and impact resistance, capable of withstanding 150N lateral forces without deformation. Surface texture replicates factory-style matte finish through precision mold etching techniques. All mounting holes incorporate stainless steel reinforcement rings to prevent thread stripping during repeated plate changes. The UV-resistant compound maintains color stability through 5+ years of direct sunlight exposure. The bracket's rear surface features drainage channels to prevent water accumulation behind license plates. Molded-in registration pins ensure precise alignment during installation without requiring measurement tools.
Installation Features
Precision-engineered to match original equipment dimensions within ±0.3mm tolerance levels. The reverse-side access channels allow tool engagement without bumper surface contact. All fastener locations maintain factory-specified 12mm spacing for seamless plate attachment. The contoured edges follow bumper profile lines to maintain aerodynamic efficiency. Integrated spacers create proper standoff distance between plate and bumper surface for airflow management. The universal license plate mounting pattern accommodates both standard and slimline plate formats. Pre-installed rubber grommets protect against vibration-induced noise and prevent metal-to-plastic contact. The symmetrical design allows installation in multiple orientations while maintaining structural integrity and visual alignment.
Compatibility Overview
This 51117158201 License Plate Bracket is specifically designed for BMW X5 E70 vehicles produced between 2007-2010 model years. Compatible with both standard and M Sport bumper configurations across all engine variants. The bracket accommodates factory-installed parking sensors and headlight cleaning systems without requiring modifications. Not recommended for vehicles with aftermarket bumper extensions or custom license plate lighting systems. For models equipped with front-mounted tow hooks, verify clearance requirements before installation. Some 2009-2010 vehicles may require verification of bumper reinforcement bar configuration for optimal fitment. Always cross-reference using original vehicle VIN to confirm bracket compatibility with specific production date configurations.
