The bumpers would be either in raw plastic or primed.

I've been at suppliers that also make bmw parts and this I can guarantee is not it.

Most bumpers will not be painted till it is at the production factory and test mules are built at the factory.

These are more than likely for another car or even maybe not even a bmw.

Theirs tons of bumpers that aftermarket sells to make your 500 dollar beater look like a bmw with a "BMW style" bumper.



In this photo you can see the exact same storage shelves.... as in the new photos so rest assured guys this is not an OEM bumper
Weren’t the first separate pics of the M3/M4 front and hood designs from a shop? Like the hood was marked up, hung up on a wall, and the front bumper was sitting on the floor or, and also on a rack.
Edit: I found the pic I was referring to.
