On your black sport I can see that you paint the part of the front bumper with the parking sensors, did you leave the rest of it unpainted ?

That's what I was afraid of, it's a hands and knees job to clean it then, not a simple jet wash job. Big Cry

Granted, you may need to pay the staff a little more for wear and tear on their clothes kneeling down to wash the lower part, but think how nice it will when you drive around. Laughing ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Staff, you mean the wife Rolling with laughter
I did think about only painting the part with the parking do dah's, similar to the later style front end, thinking it will be simple to clean.
