De-uglifying F34 M Sport rear bumper
Am I crazy to be considering this?
I've always thought that the F34 M Sport rear bumper was a total give-up. In fact, I much prefer the standard rear bumper. I occurred to me that a bit of creative paint work might produce something that actually looks pretty darn good. I'm not actually sure, however, how a single panel painted two different colors would actually look. Has anyone ever done anything like this? |

Don't like the top one (stock?). Looks disjointed. Middle one isn't bad for non-M. Bottom looks like no line stock? What would the M one look like all one color?

I used alpine white teaser pics from bmwusa.com, but mine is EBII, and I've already replaced the stock tips. |

Interesting. I prefer the way the rear looks in ///M Sport but I suppose that's as helpful as arguing over our favorite color.
What I will say is two things: 1. the front strongly needs ///M Sport to look properly aggressive IMO. When viewed from that light you didn't have much choice. 2. Unlike E89 Z4s that have the same style gray outline in their ///M Sport bumpers (see here) the special sDrive35is has its painted in the body color (see here). I guess what I'm saying is if you painted it body colored it wouldn't be totally unprecedented. |

I "wrapped" (electrical tape) my rear bumper in the seam of my sport line. See the last 2 pics in this thread http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1037434. I've kept it that way. I prefer it to the all white.
