Like PTL said, you get for what you pay for. It's a BMW, not a Honda.

Most rep bumpers are like that. But for sure I know the rep side skirts are short and the M5 rep bumper is not the exact copy of the real one.

bingo,
you can even see if the umnitza m5 rear, the diffuser part is bent in towards the middle whereas the oem is totally correct.
Maybe your shop can fix it but it would probably outweight the costs you paid for the paint and labor.
