I told my wife that there is a recall on the bumpers and side skirts. Is that wrong? 
Not at all, I usually have to find "excuses" for mods - currently on the way lighting from John, excuse: one of my fogs is "out". Worked so far, she won't notice the AE's anyway.

The corners of the front bumpers are to damn low! (at least on pre lci non m-tech) I have f'd mine up so many times it's ridiculous. Maybe I'm just an idiot and can't drive? Idk but many I see also have this problem. I was comparing mine to an e39 and the corners are way higher.
I'm sick of getting my bumpers painted, so sick in fact I think it's time for an M-tech kit
Mine as well....

I have to agree with you, I also have a new e60, sports pkg w/M tech front bumpers, the cars sits to low at the corners, for those of you without sympathy, your way off base, the front bumper is without a doubt, a bad design and a new profit center for BMW dealers.
Guys don't be so cold, you no not what your talking about.....
