I'm wondering can anybody help me on this issue. I recently bought a 2009 520d se(strip of silver plastic)front bumper to replace the bumper on my 2006 520d, since my old bumper had a few marks on it. The problem which i have incurred is that the the old parking sensors wont fit out in the holes for the newer front bumper. My question is if i was to remove the 4mm lip around the 2006 parking sensors will they fit into my 2009 front bumper? If anybody could shed some light on this it would be great. Thanks

You have a prefacelift model and you have bought a post facelift bumper so there may well be differences in the way they are attached.  I'm suprised at that though.  Checked www.realoem.com and sure enough there is a part number change for the facelifted models.  Can't  say I've noticed a difference though but there must be.
 
You could try and remove the lip, only do one and then check if it works.  A replacement sensor can be bought from ebay for not a lot of £££s.
