Looks like you have some M-3 bits on the car, or maybe that's the way BMW shipped them to Australia. Just for fun, google Watchdog Engine Monitor built by Australian Signals. I have one installed on my ti and my wife's Z-3. Love the real time info it provides.

It looks like you have a Racing Dynamics rear bumper cover, pretty rare.
