non pdc rear bumper still available?

Are they still available through BMW ? I'm confused because some BMW dealer claim they can get it and some said it's no longer available

It's available for sure. I just bought a PDC rear bumper because I am retrofitting PDC but my dealer pulled up a non PDC rear bumper and it was available. A lot of BMW parts are currently on nationwide dealer backorder. My dealer is having issues sourcing a passenger side fender.

You many want to try other online sources.

I checked the BMW system for you, 0 units in stock in Germany, has been discontinued since March 9th, 2024, BMW suggests fitting the PDC bumper instead (by means of part number subsitution).
You can try ordering one to see if there is still one left at some dealer in the US, that might be your only chance.

Who is your dealer? I might check with them on the rear bumper. I just bought a passenger fender from FCP Euro, it appears they have another one in stock.

Have you guys bought anything from Schmiedmann in Denmark? they seem to have the best pricing and the shipping aren't bad at all

That's strange that the bumper is showing as discontinued. I know for certain that my bumper was ordered after March 9th and I got a brand new non-PDC bumper from BMW. It did come from Germany and took quite a while to arrive.

Here's a screenshot from BMW parts portal, the 267 is the non PDC bumper, which has been 'eliminiated' and superseded by the 222 part number, which is the PDC variant.

I second on this being strange.

Not saying that your wrong but I just called the dealer a few weeks ago to order this. When I provided my vin they ordered a non-PDC bumper because my car was not originally equipped with PDC. I had to change the order to a PDC bumper because of the PDC retrofit but they never said anything about the non-PDC bumper being discontinued.

perhaps because of the superseded part number your original order also was ‘converted’ to the PDC variant in their order system.
