The wood is light poplar, which isn't very common, but which I think is a nice match for the beige leather.

Hi all,
My 550i with the M-sport package was finally delivered last week (after 8 weeks of waiting), and it's been a joy to drive since.
I did have a question for all of you:
I've noticed that there are a number of uneven gaps around the bumper of my car.
(1) Between the headlights and the kidney grill. The gap on the passenger side is about 0.5 cm more than the gap on the driver side.
(2) Between the hood and the bumper. An even 0.5 cm, which seems like it's probably within design specs.
(3) In addition, the bumper is flush with the kidney grill on the driver side, but is "pulled in" about 0.5 cm on the passenger side.
I'm trying to get a sense as to whether I should bother getting the bumper adjusted, or whether everyone has these gaps and uneven spaces, and I should just relax.
Thanks in advance.
