Could do either really, all it'll need is rubbed down and a spot of filler but you might pick up that bumper section for very very little from a scrapper (an actual scrapper not a scraper) then get it painted
Either way repaired and painted for £200 or under

Changed the interior lights and number plate lights to LED's on my Z4 today, What a massive difference a couple of LED's can do to transform the look of a car, the interior just lights up in this bright white glow instead of that dull dimmed out yellow light.
The only pain was the front dome lights, the centre light required me to dissemble the unit (Which is only two screws to remove) and push the LED bulb up through the hole and into the bulb holder, usually you pull the bulb holder out insert the bulb and place back. The hole was not big enough to push the LED bulb through. In case any Z4 owners had trouble.
Also after many many months of searching, an E64 650i with a manual has appeared AT 650i rare find I would have liked to buy if I didn't get the Zed.

ZHP? Next you will be calling petrol stations "gas stations"!
I've always known it to be called the ZHP.

Because that's the car (330i ZHP) it was most commonly found on in the US where very few cars are manual. But we live in the UK where it was widely available on many other models and we never got a 'ZHP'.
Just picked up my new X5. Very nice indeed. Have only been able to drive a few miles as need to work but it is a definite step up over my previous generation one. I know there is not much love for SUVs on here, but with multiple dogs, kids and hobbies that include a lot of kit they are great. 7 seats in something that is not an awful people carrier, is rare.

I shall proceed to continue calling it the ZHP gear knob.
Got any pictures? I love X5s - still extremely tempted by a first gen 4.8is.
