M5 look front bumper questions
What I'm maybe after, here's the criteria:
M5 replica front bumper for non-M E60, pre-LCI, with PDC (24mm), does have provisions for foglights, fits well, and is made of high quality material (TPO, PPO, ABS...no fiberglass)
does it exist? May have to replace front bumper due to unfortunate contact with concrete parking block...parking block won. Have looked across the internet today, haven't found much.
thanks, cheers.

Mine is the MTech. Same as you, non-M, pre-LCI, reused fogs from OEM bumper -- don't have PDC though, although it was an option. I got mine from Trinity Autosport when Nerweezy was still there. Had it shipped and painted locally. Still very happy with it. I am not absolutely sure of the material it is made of, but no cracks or splits in 3 years.

I already have the full OEM M Technic kit on my car. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll just go with another factory M Tech bumper. Whenever something breaks on my car I always look to see if there's an upgrade available.
Thanks for the input everyone.

There are several differences between the m5tech and m-tech, the front splitter lips are different, m-tech don't have grill around fog light, and the large grill shape is different too.
