Peter.
I am in the middle of this situation you are discussing. The difference between the two bumpers is in the Fog Lights and the Trim molding. Both Fog Lights and Trim molding is NOT enterchangeable. Both bumper covers will enterchange and the grill pieces but not the Fog and Trim. I replaced my 01 bumper with an 00 bumper because the 01 design. The 01 sits to low so therofore it snages a Curb Stop. The 00 bumper sits about an 1" higher and the problem is solved. Unfortunately I have to purchase different Fog Lamps and Trim parts in order to make it work. Robert King 2001 BMW 5 series "piotrmonter" > wrote in message ... > Hello. > > I have a quick question.
