Yup. If they paint it in advance then they must be confident that it fits well

Without paint you can pretty much check EBAY or our site sponsors

I got mine on ebay, fairly cheap... fitment was pretty good, my side skirts dont sit 100% correct but I have overlooked it, front bumper aligned pretty good with my PDCs as well and so did the rear bumper, only one PDC is a tiny bit crooked down but hardly noticeable to others.

I paid like 900? and then 300$ painted and installed at a local shop who i've known for a while.

Depending on where you're located, I found my Mtech front on CL, painted and installed for $575. They even credited me $100 for my old bumper. These are brand new. I bought my sides on ebay for $100, painted for another $200 and installed myself. I'd say fitment is almost perfect for front and sides. Also keep in mind that, for example, a #300 Alpine white may not be a perfect match if it's pre-painted. The colors are slightly different for the model year and region where the car was built/sold. The guy took my gas lid to match my paint.

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.

so pretty much from what you can see from fellow members that there are some minor modifications needed with an aftermarket bumper. if you don't want to pay full price for a new OEM bumper i've seen OEM bumpers on ebay go for pretty cheap with just minor repair...but at least it will fit spot on!

My kit is from Trinity a sponsor on this forum. Although a bodyshop did the paint and install, they didn't indicate they had issues and it looks like an OEM fit.
