F10 - 528i M-Sport Conversion

Hey,
I'm looking to convert my 2014 F10 528i XDrive rear + front bumpers to M-Sport.

Has anyone done this ? I'm looking to start with the rear bumper first. Curious if i should spent $800 on an OEM bumper + 70 for OEM Diffuser or get aftermarket on the bay for ~300 total.

Also; Generally what do stealerships / bmw vendors charge to paint a bumper?

Thanks in advance!!

From what I understand, retrofitting oem bumper is more involved and not just as simple as swapping bumpers. Need to get other pieces to make it all work together. Aftermarket would be more "plug and play" type of thing. I would go that route. I was in the same boat and went aftermarket and have been happy ever since

What other parts did you have to get besides bumper cover, mash grill, fog lights?

most of the ebay kits are all from the same manufacturer just sold by different ebay sellers. I bought mine from a fellow member who bought it from ebay and the fitment was spot on. no gaps or issues whatsoever but than it's a hit or miss as I've seen some members who had quality and fitment issues.
