please help me cause ALL my local dealers are clueless (front bumper)

[Bernielynn_]

Ive been wanted to replace my bumper since its absolutely blasted with stone chips. This time around i intend to ppf the bumper. Anyways, Ive been calling all my local dealers in search of a front bumper and these guy all have conflicting information. That being said i have a 2022 3.0 base without parking sensors. Easy enough right? Wrong. First dealer tells me according to my vin i need 52119-waa02, OK great order it. He said he cant its NLA. Alright call the next dealer he tells me by vin i need 52119-waa06. Wait a second right. I said i have no parking sensors. He says that's what my vin pulls up. Online shows me both, but they are non de script. Have my parts guy call his supplier today he agrees with part number ending on 02, and says they are available he can have one tomorrow. Although, i dont want to order through work cause even after my discount, they are cheaper online. Online searches are not being very fruitful. With all that rambling, has anyone ordered either one and can chime in on the parking sensor fiasco. Being in the auto body industry its not uncommon for BMW bumpers to come with no holes and your required to drill em out yourself, even on OEMS. Is this that situation? Is the 06 the superseded number to the 02? If anyone has ordered a bumper and can provide insight id greatly appreciate it.

TLDR: 52119-WAA02 or 52119-WAA06 has no parking sensors holes?

Partsouq states this but I don't know from first hand experience if it is correct.

Interesting. id assume parking support means sensors, so it appears 02 is correct.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the bumpers come unpainted so you will have to paint anyhow. Why not just fix the existing one and save yourself some trouble.

Or find one in scrapyard

I paint as a full time job, our scrap yards are far and few especially with newer vehicles, and don't really want to have any downtime with the car if possible. However, its looking that way if i cant figure it out. The real downfall is, if i paint it i cant ppf it right away and lets face it it doesn't take long for these bumper to get destroyed especially with highway driving.

I tried to rope these guys for part numbers earlier, and they weren't budging. To be honest id rather it spray it myself. Nothing against anyone, but being in the industry ruins a lot of things for me.

06 is for a cover with parking sensor.
02 is without parking sensors.
