About as many times as this ad for his Limo version.

Although it is fair to say this one is rare

Not all of them do. My 2.5 (built in Cowley in late June 2000) is an example. Doesn't have and never has had any black either on the sills or the bumpers. It was apparently an option on late Cowley cars built to the BMW spec in the last few months before the move to Birmingham. However the likely build date of this makes it definitely a Longbridge job so you may well be right about it being a replacement bumper.

It might just be my phone but the rear bumper looks out of shade? Maybe an old boy had it and it acquired a few scrapes along they way and this chap has sourced a pair of bumpers to spruce it up.

I would be reticent to buy from a dealer where the pictures are taken on the next floor of the carpark where the "hand car wash" is located.

Another of his fabulous low mileage examples HERE

Funny you should mention car washes. When I looked at the photos of mine on ebay prior to buying it they were all taken in a car wash in Bulgaria!
