Figure a pic is worth a thousand words. This isn't really a mod, but the result of a deer vs BMW. Not sure who won. Deer ran off, but I get a new hood, grill, and bumper. It will fix the paint chips I have been fretting over.
Body shop said I can buy the parts for it if I want and they will pay me back. Going with black grills for sure, but not sure about an aftermarket bumper. How do the prices of an M bumper comapre with a stock one?

so been looking on ebay for grills. Anyone have any recommendations?
Matte, gloss, or carbon?
Anyone have good luck and quick shipping from a specific seller?

After discussing it with my daughter I have decided that I am going to go with matte black grill, going to change to black roundels all around, and probaby keep the stock bumper.
I am not sure how the M front bumper will look with the standard side skirts and read bumper.
