Left pedal = brake, right pedal = gas

Well, the day after my roommate agrees to buy my BMW 335i so I can purchase the C63... I was rear ended in traffic on my way home from work. Long story short, the rear bumper has to be replaced. Roommate finds the stock bumper boring and would like a more aggressive one and the body shop has agreed as long as we cover any difference in prices. These are the two we've narrowed it down to and the stock (B), thoughts?

 
Agree with all of the above.

A

Looks killer aggressive and sporty but still clean and classy, looks OEM.

B looks ordinary, stock, boring, plain. C screams Autozone.

C looks like shit.

My preference is B, leaning toward A if other nice bits are present as well (lightweight wheels, well-implemented aero, etc.)
 
Yeah, I just needed help convincing him not to put C on the car 😉

Interestingly, those A/C are the exact same bumper with two different inserts. All are made by BMW.

def A.
I like Chip Fooses theory on car modifications: you shouldnt be able to tell what the difference is, but know that something is different. as in "that car looks great!, what did you do to it??" The modification shouldnt be blaringly obvious. A pulls this off. B is boring. C is too obvious.
A ftw
 
there are a few cars out there that have the parking brake on the left, clutch next, brake then gas for a total of 4 pedals. My daughter's SHO is that way.

I already clarified this earlier:

In the case of the automagic Honda Civic that slammed on the gas instead of the brakes, you are incorrect.

Isn't C the one that comes on the 335is?

Saw a 335is at the Porsche dealership today and liked it.

Ding ding ding, like I said, they're all OEM BMW bumpers, and they all come out to roughly the same price.
