Yeah I dont understand why all the trim/bumpers are not body color, it doesnt do it justice and kinda cheapens it, rare in modern BMW styling.
Mine has the M Sport and it looks so much better.

With a big chunk of black color rubber/plastic, it is pure ugly (aside from the gorgeous M Sport) and is not premium at all. This is my theory why the Q5, with body colored bumpers, side skirts sell better - no matter you choose the least expensive or most expensive line. Funny is that the new X5's rear bumper is still quite ugly (again aside from M sport), although it has a bit less black "plastic" parts.
I am sure the LCI bumper will be all color coordinated (just like the LCI of the last X3). BMW has to stop playing these games - intentionally making a new car's bumper look ugly and fixing it in the facelift.
