Bumper material:
OEM quality is rare and expensive but worth it. PP or Polyproplyene is what original BMW bumpers are made of. Quality means you save on fitting and painting while getting a part that hold its value like no other.
ABS or hard plastic is idealy suited lips, grilles, valences and spoilers. ABS is a rare and expensive material. PP and ABS are injected or pressed making the bumpers consistent in shape.
PU or Polyurathane is slightly softer than PP but very durable and flexibel. PU is typically poured and is slightly heavier, that being said it is super durable and typically good fit.
FRP or GFK are fancy names for fiberglass. It's a good material for spoilers since its rigid and holds its shape over time. The problem with GFK/FRP bumpers is their production technique. Parts are made by hand and molds degrade over time, this makes it impossible to guarantee consistent parts.
