Lemans blue e82 with M Coupe back bumper?

So yeah, as title says- has anyone seen a lemans blue e82 with M Coupe back bumper (or front bumper too!) Looking to get quad exhausts at some point and not sure whether to just get the diffuser or get the whole M coupe back bumper, but never seen it in blue!

I would just get a quad diffuser. I love the M bumper but it wont match the rest of the car and will mess with the flow of the cars lines.

Yeah I think you're going to get a lot of responses like this, and I agree. Unless you're going full "faux-1m", it doesn't really work.

Quad diffusers however, look fantastic!

That looks great! How about the M front bumper, would that also offset the look of the car, should I just get the splitter for the M Sport bumper?

I like the 1M replica front bumpers, but there are some who don't, so take a good look at some pics and see what you think.

I think the splitters on the front bumper pretty much always look good.

My 2 cents.

Can mod the turbo and reflash the 120d to put out north of 500wtq. Think that'd be fine to have 4 pipes. Plenty of stock N54s (including 1M) with those.

Eh people will always judge but if you like the looks I say go for it within reason of course.
