Could you/someone please photoshop the rear diffusor/underrun-protector in glossy black here:



Was thinking of this to match the performance grill...

Thank you
Exatly this part, thinking of changing from car colour to glossy black to have it look less like a framed bone...

Dunno what it is exatly with your all-white rear bumper, but for me it looks wrong, like a design mistake or unnecessary design lines.

@Leaving, IMO, the white bumper does not look good.

@a.c.e., I agree that you should remove the //M. Your car is not an M. This makes you look like a poser.

Yes. Sorry, I don't know how to appreciate the framed dogbone design in the m-sports rear bumper. A lot of design lines, but yet does not give that sporty/aggressive look. Seems they are trying too hard.

Painting the dogbone white will definitely reduce the contrast. If you want to do it, I would paint the bottom diffuser piece black.

Just my 2 cents.

Definitely looks more natural than the all white. Actually looks interesting if you spray the lower diffuser part matte black instead of glossy.

I tried to glossy the diffusor there with black, however i'm not that good with photoshop

Overall i guess everyone likes this car as it comes from bmw

There is a much wider aftermarket when talking about F30-32, G30... Maybe because many f48 owners go for the xline and it gives no room to add mods?

Don't get me wrong, i even like de Xline, but each f48 the same? come on.

Not so sure everyone likes it as it came from the factory, but it's not always easy improve something. IMO, the M sport looks better than the X line, but I think the M sport front end is definitely the nicest end of the X1. (I prefer the back end of the X2 over the front end.)

I don't like it. It could probably look good if you do the bumper in white and the diffuser in black.
