I say go with the oem M5 front. it looks a lot better than the M-tech in my opinion, but you will have to give up the fog light feature.

It is OEM that I bought from a fellow forum member.

I know. Anyone has a solution to this? It really looks good though.

I even mounted my front license plate. No more fear of getting a ticket.

looking good Joe

yes Joe did bring his own bumper and we did the paint and install. as an option we do have our replica mtech parts available, and the fronts do look like the M5 fronts but the fog lights are still compatible.

MTech front all the way! Sorry youre not driving an M5, plus you get to keep your fog lights! Thats the part that I dislike the most about the M series cars, none have fog lights due to the larger air intakes.

In the end it will be your baby, so go with your gut!
