Need to replace M235i front bumper. M2 replica or M Sport ?

I need to replace the front bumper on my stock/unmodified M235i, and it ends up being roughly the same price for the aftermarket M2 replica vs. aftermarket M Sport (OEM style). I am leaning towards the M2 replica. I will not be replacing the rear bumper. Any strong opinions here, one way or the other? Thanks

I'm in the same boat, and have been looking towards the M2 style myself personally, i like how it looks more.

The M2 Replica for M235i is deigned to fit the stock body/fender M235i while resembling the same design as the M2 bumper.

Same, I think I will pull the trigger on the M2 replica.

Honestly, I wouldn't do it unless I have a lot of other visual mods that accentuates that front. Otherwise it looks more like those cartoon character with small body and big head.
