04 545i with sport package in sapphire black. I'm only replacing the front bumper. Should I do the M5 style bumper or Mtech?

OEM m5 bumper with stock fenders look worse than m5 rep bumper(NOT M5TECH). if you want a OEM m5 bumper, get OEM m5 fenders and fill in the fender grill area so it looks legit

+1 to this. The only thing I wish i had done when going this route was covering up the fender holes/vents on the m5 fenders. Looks too much like an m5. OP, feel free to PM me if you've got questions on connecting parts if you decide to fit an m5 bumper on your car. There is a full list of parts and part numbers that I can pull up for ya.
