BMW Bump Stop - Genuine BMW 51238247699

Product Information

A hood stop buffer is a small rubber or plastic component mounted on the frame or hood structure that cushions and stabilizes the hood when it is closed. Its purpose is to prevent metal-to-metal contact, reduce vibrations, and ensure proper hood alignment with the fenders and front fascia.

• Hood rattling or vibration while driving, especially at higher speeds, due to lack of cushioning.
• Misaligned hood fitment, causing uneven gaps or poor flush alignment with surrounding panels.
• Noise when closing the hood, such as clunking or harsh impact, from worn or missing buffers.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
