Can someone source me a 2014 f30 m sport front and rear bumper in sapphire black metallic
Rather see if anyone on here has them for sale first then buy it new and having to pay more to get them painted.

Honestly your chances of buying something pre-painted and having it match is not good. What I would suggest is getting the parts from a quality vendor like Kies so that they will fit.

Then lookup all of the local BMW shops that you can find. See BimmerShops website for local shops too.

Then call them all to ask what local paint shop they recommend that is the best at matching BMW colors. Chances are that you will get the same 1-2 paint shop recommendations.

I did this and found a small shop that I never heard of before that the local BMW dealer even sends all of their paint work to, then marks it up of course. Painted and installed my bumpers and the match was absolutely perfect.

Agreeing with above. The paint colors differ from batch lots, how old they are, etc. Even brand new 2 cars of the same color (unless they were painted at the same time) will be slightly different.

Any good paint shop will be able to color match your paint (including the color change from aging) to make it look seamless.

A friend bought a pre-painted bumper, but the color did not match, so I don't recommend buying one pre-painted.
