My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
Pulled up at traffic lights tonight, waiting for green light then bang car shot forward a foot. 
Visions of mangled back end as I hurried out to take insurance details and tell the guy what I thought about his parents and nothing, not a mark, not a scratch just perfect. I was delighted, patted him on the back and got back in the car out of the UK torrential rain. 
The bumpers are good in my opinion and really protect the car

Well not a few feet just a foot and I had just taken my foot off the brake pedal to move off so that must have helped. Also it always feels much worse than it really is when someone shunts you from behind! Either way there is no damage.

Could it be that the M bumper is missing the reflector and that's why they can't see you and bumped you.
