Bumper/head light fitment

So... I had an accident and the dealer repaired my car. However, I now find that there is a gap under between the lights and the bumper that I did not see before the accident. How does this area look on your cars? Can you share some close-ups - preferably of cars with the M135i bumper? Right side is the worst but the left side basically looks the same

I also searched and found pics where this gap looks present.

Hey guys (and girls)

I would really appreciate if you would shoot a few pics of this area of your car and post it here in high-res or email me at harkes@gmail.com.

My dealer says he cannot make it any better so I need proof!

Hi Harkes
I think you need to talk to whoever did the repair as it looks like it could have been an after market front that was used.
looking at the edge, it looks like some of the inner panel has been removed.
I am not sure what your insurer's policy is but I would ask them to fix it properly.
I had a look at a M135i for you today and this is the front light (F20)
It is the same fitment as my 125i M Sport (no visible gap)

That is good feedback! Ill have them remove the bumper to see if its an original BMW part. Thanks
