I have bought from "Best Racing Motors" and the part I received was wrong, they payed for return shipping and refunded my money so it was still a good experience. They had incorrectly labeled an F30 rear M-Sport bumper as fitting an F31, I had a feeling it was incorrect as I had seen separate OEM numbers.

I also bought an M-Performance style rear diffuser from "Ikon Motorsports", and it fit correctly on an aftermarket M-Sport rear bumper for F31.

I purchased my rear M-Sport Bumper from "Martins Auto Parts" and it fit perfectly, as mentioned it was also compatible with the aftermarket M-Performance diffuser.

I got a GoodGo front F80 style bumper for my F31 from M****gains and the fitment was great. Didn't buy that on eBay though, that was purchased directly.

Let me know if you have any other questions, just finished doing my swaps so it's still fresh in the mind.

What about the rear M Sport bumper didn't fit on your sportwagon?

Visually the only difference I see between F31 vs F30 is an additional "crease" that blends with a crease on the rear trunk lid.

Part numbers are different for starters, but the sedan side wings that attach to the rear quarter panels are longer than on the wagon. If i remember correctly the sedan rear bumper was also wider in the middle so it wasn't even close to the tip bolts next to the tail lights. The M-Sport part numbers are as follows:

- F30 - 51128056497 - (https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_8512)
- F31 - 51128056577 - (https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_8512)

I had to take a bunch of pictures to prove that it was incorrect, I will see if I can find them to show the side by side between the wrong one and OEM sport line. The other one I got fit fine because it was actually for an F31, trust me not fun packing up and shipping bumper covers... lol.

To their credit, Best Racing Motors communicated with me via email and corrected the situation, as well as their listing. I helped them find the correct model so they might actually have a listing that is correct on eBay now, they were ordering ones for the F31.
