You could go the m2 conversion bumper. personally love how it looks on the f22s but there is a lot of hate but I do agree the front bumper looks to nice stock.

I used to have the M2 front bumper on my 228i but removed it besause I was starting to feel like a poser. I'd also like to add that the dimensions of the m2 front bumper dont really match the width of the f22 that well. I ended up switching to the M sport front bumper with the M performance front lip and side skirt extensions to go with everything. This gives a mean and aggressive look and the matte black of the lip and extensions give a nice contrast while retaining an OEM+ look that isn't too much boy racer in my opinion. I would look into doing the m235i rear bumper. I retrofitted it on my 228i and it fits, the diffuser is what will determine what fits for you. I ended up having a muffler bypass meant for an m235i welded on as an axle back and that essentially turned my rear into an m235i. If you dont want to go that route, you can get a diffuser that is meant for a left side only exhaust. One like this: https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/bmw-f...=INF2223MOT3HG it's in gloss black but I believe you can find one in matt black which is what the m performance comes in.

Thank you for your imput, I will be installinig the M2 front and rear bumper! I fell it's aggressive enough and my FMIC would look sick with it. i do get what you mean like a poser I HATE when people ad M or M240 when they have 220 or 228 but as far as bumper goes that is the one I liked the most will be uploading pics soon.

Just wondering, since you owned that bumper will the m2 lips fits even tho it's a bumper made for the f22?

Unfortunately no. I know kies motorsports sells one but that one might only before the OG m2 front bumper conversion. I'll provide you with a link to it if you want to take a look. https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/prod...604c6a36&_ss=r
