Do all e82 135i have 'msport' bumper?

Some ass hit me so I have to replace my rear bumber and (most likely diffuser), it looks like from this thread that all 135i come with m-sport bumber, regardless of whether m-sport trim package or not:

For reference I have a 2008 135i, with no m-sport package (silver window trim, etc). I'd hate to order the wrong bumper and diffuser....I have a hartge exhaust/diffuser so finding one is tough as is.

Thanks guys.

As far as I know, the bumpers are all the same. On the bright side, I have an OEM rear on my 2008 135i in the Seattle area that I'd be interested in parting with. It's AW and not perfect though.

Unfortunately, I've moved from the area and am now going to school in Ohio. Thanks for the offer though.

Thanks for the info, just wanted to make sure before ordering a part that doesn't fit.

No worries man. Ironically, I'm originally from Ohio. Saw your other post and did some research to no avail. Personally, I'd see it as a good opportunity to create a custom diffuser on the 1M rep bumper. Especially if you can find one with no cutouts.

If I was better with working with fiberglass/PVC/carbon fiber, I might attempt that. I don't think it'd look right anyway unfortunately because the cutouts in the 1M bumper style wouldn't line up with my center-quad (think M3) exhaust setup, whereas the 1M and most 1-series quads are further out toward the corners.

I don't think it'd be that difficult to be honest. I wish I had your dilemma because I love this type of project.

You came to pretty much the same conclusion as the other guy in a thread I made for another question but merged into the same discussion . I may attempt a photoshop to see if a merge would even look good.
