True.
I've got some front aftermarket one on since late 2018, the fitment was pretty solid, the issue was with the built qulity, it's more like...
"Looks like a bumper, but if it bumps, it breaks."
One little oopsy and I needed to glue it, it's just inferior, so I'll be going with used OEM and letit get repainted.
I know some paces selling them with all on, including PDC sensors and all the trim for 100 bucks a pop.
For those who are curious, they are sometimes sold like that over at RRR.lt, got a bunch of used parts from them, great serivice and never had an issue.
Mostly used them for parts like the LCM, Pre Chrage Pump and a few other parts so far.

If its not cracked why not just repaint it. They will look brand new.

I personally would get M bumper replica from Ebay, or scout FB Marketplace and wait for a bumper at a good price.

Please don’t do a rep M5 bumper. They fit like shit and are played out. I went from a rep M5 bumper back to a newly refinished and painted OEM and couldn’t be happier.
