Exclamation M sport bumper or M Bumper

I'm about to order a bumper either this evening or tomorrow. I've been troubled on which bumper to go with. I personally feel like the MSport looks better. Sorry M5 owner just imo. And I feel like with the MSport bumper I have alot front lips to choose from. Even if I wad just to say wanted the M5 look.

I need others insight please. No tread trolls. Not looking to make my car look like an M5

Personal preference my dude... I have an M-Sport and I just ordered an M5 bumper for shits and giggles. Def going without the foglights on the M5 bumper. As long as you leave the stock badges on the trunk, you won't look like you're trying to be an M5 lol.

I personally would love to run a OEM front end w/ fenders just so I can run some wider wheels up front, not to make people think Im driving an M5.

Why would you think that to an M5 owner (no one else cares) you would be deemed to be less of a poseur with an M5 bumper on a non M5 car than a car that just has an M5 badge on an M5 car? Both "mods" are an attempt to make the car look like something it isn't.

Which bumper do you think looks better in your eyes. I like the msport alot but no also wouldn't mind not having the fogs. Can you send me pictures or post of your before and after pictures of how it came out

Not really. An M5 bumper adds style to your car, makes it more unique, and just looks sweet.

Adding an M5 badge is just pathetic.




IMO i would replace front bumper with Msport rather than M5, but to each his own.

The M5 bumper is by far better looking, the standard one makes the F10 front look ont he flatter side, definitely sharper looking with the M5 design!
Someone in this forum published pictures of an aftermarket M5 bumper with fog lights mounted, maybe the best option if you worried about the want to be M5 car …
