Btw, are there any alternative solutions for a rear M-Tech bumper or am I stuck with having to order an OEM from the dealer?

I thought finding a rear E61 M-Tech bumper was hard when I was looking for one (which I eventually found used), but a used E91 sounds like a dream.
I haven't found any... I've been looking, and it seems for the wagon, the only way is oem unless a unicorn pops up in your local pick n pull.

Because of the wagons different taillights and rear quarters the bumper is approx 75% different... maybe less... some have had success chopping and grafting a sedans msport/tech lower portion to the upper part of the wagons bumper... but in the end I'd rather not have hacked bumpers.

I haven't been able to find any replica msport/tech touring rear bumpers in the US. There were a handful of people making them overseas in EU where wagons are more common, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be cost effective in to ship them here unless we wanted to get a group buy together
For all that work, you might as well do the M3 bumper conversion.
Exactly and that still requires grafting since the m3 was never offered as a wagon... at least with the e61 they offered the ///m variant.

Honestly the oem mtech with a badass diffuser is going to look and fit the best. That's the direction I'm headed when I get things going... might as well spray it all at once.
