Bottom line: It's your car, do what you want. BUT... you asked for opinions and I've got one: Pleeeeeaaaase don't put an E46 bumper on your car. It just doesn't look good to me.

I have seen only one two-tone BMW that didn't look like crap. Just the hood, roof, hatch is an idea that needs flushed; you need to go low enough on the body to ensure it doesn't look like you replaced panels after a crash. Also, this was a race machine so it was pretty sweet to begin with.

I guess the question is what are you after with your car?

If you decide to go with the e46 bumper, I'll gladly take that sport bumper cover off your hands

I'm going to say the only time 318's should be more than one color is when it has the motorsport flag (I know some of you aren't fans but I am) or if it is a rally car and cover with sponsor logos, but even that doesn't look good unless its sliding on a dirt track covered in mud
