Today, I met up with a local E60 member, TexaZ3 for a front M-tech bumper adjustment. What a great guy, top-class Turns out that whoever initially installed my M-tech bumper did not get all the installation hardware, but simply replace the bumper itself. Alex was kind enough to help me fix it and trim away some of the panels for a better fit. Big thanks to you my man

Btw, he's got a couple of BMWs in the stable - 545i and 645i, both Black Sapphire Very nice indeed.

It's very minor, but the gaps under the headlights, prior to adjustment, were more pronounced. I'm anal about the car, so with Alex's help, he was able to reduce the gap. Plus he trimmed the panels on both sides for a better fit with the M-tech bumper, less stress on it.
