IMO it doesn't look great. Gives the front a daft smiling face. And I'm not keen on the addition of the front fog lamps. Fog lamps are now being incorporated in to headlights to give a tidier look (like newer M Cars) and thus the M Coupe, unusual at the time for not having front fog lamps, is actually more contemporary!
It looks as though essentially the bumper shape is the M bumper with the ACS splitters moulded in which would be great, but the centre section has been restyled and ruins the potential. What they should have done is kept the overal M shape but made the bumper deeper whilst adding the splitters.
I don't mind it but only really suits a roadster not coupe, the standard M bumper with ACS flippers and especially the fog lights looks much more aggressive helped by the slightly wider design of the flippers.
I have read the fit isn't as good as original bumpers but have never seen one in the flesh.
Would look better if the lower section was much wider and lower like the flippers below, the standard flipper design as fitted to the non M bumper is also much wider.
Hadn't notice the tiny brake ducts on the black one on ebay! They stand out more in the red bumper. Definitely prefer the look of the M bumper plus the ACS splitters.
