The problem I have with those is that BMWs versions look nothing like either of those bull bars. I question the quality and usefulness if you ever hit something. They just don't look right, and whenever you buy aftermarket you are asking for fitment issues.
Plenty on eBay I noticed...

I agree, those are going to need some fabrication through the bumper to get them to fit and to bolt on. From the picture, it looks like a 3" diameter when the BMW OE is more like 1 1/2" to 2" diameter tubing.

That's too bad about the OE being plastic. Lame.
This "underride" guard is the way to go.

I think the idea is that if you are off-road it protects the vital engine components.
The reality is that most people buy it bc it looks cool. Edit: see,

hmmm i have that OE bar if thats plastic then thats some hard plastic...
My daugther bashed into a car with it when learning to park. She got scared and the X went from 2mph to 25mph. I sit on the bar all the time it doesnt feel plastic to me. I could be wrong though.
