PS: Front bumper design tweaks

Was screwing around with PS and decided to make the bottom intakes a little bit wider and not as bulky. Also added body color to the bottom center of the bumper. Definitely like the wider intakes, it's more elegant looking and more closely matches the rear bumper design without taking anything away from the boxy theme. I'm indifferent on the body colored center though.

What do you think?

Design 3 just becomes a bit elementary if that makes sense.

Excellent ps skill though.

Can you make a photoshop of the painted bottom center with just the original intakes? And maybe in various colors?

What do you think?
Tag, can you make the side intakes more parallelepiped combined with a /===\ lower central air intake design, instead of the boxy |===| one. Actually more like the F87 M2 Competiton, but without 'fangs' this time around.

IMHO /===\ improves the front end design-wise. And indeed 'close' the underside of the lower central air intake.

To catch my drift: see https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...9#post23156349

I tried that before, but it didn't really gel with the look of the car. I have some ideas I'm playing around with to try and get that 'look' we both want.

That's an easy fix for BMW M for the LCI, if willing.

Fitting the M Performance Parts splitter in the meantime ? Yeah, especially on BSM, but it features rather questionable vertical winglets:

If I wanted to look like an anoosehole I'd get the M Performance parts. I prefer to avoid being one.

I have NO idea why they didn’t choose to finish the bottom center lip in body-color paint. It looks pretty unfinished. These pictures look great.
