M Sport Upgrade Pictures

I have a '14 xDrive35i base model. However I was recently involved in a rear ended collision so figured may as well upgrade bumpers if it wasn't coming out of my pocket. I really like how the fangs blend in so well with black sapphire (less jagged and more subdued).

Body shop did a fantastic job, even had them paint match the diffuser. I already had the black grills and roof rails before. Plan to swap back to my 18" summer wheels shortly.

Did you have Msport before? If not, didn't you have to upgrade the wheel arches and side skirts as well?

No and yes. The body shop said doing front and rear without sides would look incomplete so they took care of everything.

I thought the insurance company would replace the same/exact bumper and not do an upgrade? Anyway, it looks awesome! I have a base as well and was thinking of putting the exterior pieces on but I haven't decided yet for sure.

Insurance company just writes a check for whatever the body shop and adjuster agree on. How I spend the money is up to me
