I had a new front bumper on my E91, (a kindly neighbour backed into it when parked 'properly' near my mother's home). My car was mystic blue metallic and I expected it to mismatch, as it was painted and baked away from the car, the car just went in for a few hours while the bumper was fitted. Paint colour and metallic depth was a perfect match, no shadows or light issues at all. But colour does make a difference.

But I'd be very cautious of trying to get it sorted. Like a lot of the comments on the other thread, try and live with it, even if it does show more than just an illusion, which it may well do.

I am going to try and live with it. Fixing it will cause more problems.
