Copyright isn't that easy to circumvent lol. If BMW really wanted to, they can sue them easily enough for just looking like their bumper design. Copyright also applies to likeliness of the object in question.
The reason the aftermarket parts don't fit well is because they're made in overseas factories (that don't give a damn about IP) that have jack all for quality control. So you'll often have parts that shrunk a little too much during the cooling process, went into degraded molds, etc. Not because they're worried about copyright.
