I would never buy a pre-painted bumper. Ever. Paint won't be a good match. And who knows what paint/clear they used. For example there are 6 different shades of Space Grey Metallic (A52) that BMW used in 2011, you won't be able to tell what exact shade you have unless you get it matched at a paint supply store or have the color cards available.
Buy it primered and get it painted by a reputable shop. My aftermarket M5 bumper doesn't fit nearly close to OEM but it's manageable.
