'20 Cerium Front Bumper on '21?

Hi all, I have a 2021 M550i coming in next month, in Tanzanite Blue. I'm sure you've seen my annoying posts in the "ordering" section of the forum if you've looked.

For those who haven't, and aren't fed up with me yet, thanks for reading! I've noticed that the front trim on the lower bumper on the 2021 M550i cars now are no longer Cerium Gray, even without the shadowline package.

Though it looks like EU cars do still get that part. Does anyone know if the part numbers for the 2020 front bumper trim are the same as the 2021, and if I ordered 2020 trim pieces in Cerium, they'd fit on my car? Or what the part number is for those EU trim pieces?

Oh, that's definitely interesting. I was told (today actually) that the 21 bumper is a different part.

I was inquiring on a g30 front CF splitter and was told that it may not fit the 21 due to that.

That's sorta what I'm afraid of. But since they make that little cerium L trim piece (idk wtf to call it) for the EU cars, kinda hoping I might just be able to source them to swap around.

Would love that one extra bit of grey trim to tie everything together like they had on 2020's, but keep all the rest of the 2021 parts on.

Might reach out to a few online parts places / my service rep and see what might be available already

I assumed he was talking about these pieces, which do appear to be only black in 2021 (even without extended shadowline).

That's funny cause I want to change my cerium grey ones to black. I hate the cerium grey.

So far ive changed the side vents and I have mirror covers on order. Just need to find these at a reasonable price

If you're just going gloss black from cerium, you might be able to find a wrap installer who could put some 3M gloss black vinyl on there for not too much $ (or you could order it from Amazon and try yourself)

Sadly there's no 'cerium gray' vinyl I can order haha.
