perhaps the best test of good taste is restraint. dont over do it, and trust me, both those kits you posted would definitely be over-doing it!
on a side note, the third bumper posted above, i would have strongly considered that bumper if it were readily available in the states. it looks like an M3-esque design, very sporty yet refined.

On this forum, the vast, overwhelming majority of geezers people will tell you to get an M Tech/M5Tech or nothing at all. And they aren't completely wrong - it's a great looking kit. My own personal favorite is the CSR kit, but unfortunately nobody likes it enough to either start producing it in the States, or at least importing the one they sell in Switzerland.
Here's a pic of the front:
I'd combine it with OEM M Tech sideskirts and M Tech rear - would look incredible IMO...

IMO looks too much like a 3series mtech front bumper

It's also similar to ALL new M Sport fronts. This is a great looking front in my opinion. I asked John@Motorcepts to try to source me one of them, but he just let that one go to voicemail, I guess 
But if it was available in the States, I'd have bought it a long time ago.

Haha, restraint and good taste are hardly synonymous - but I do agree with you guys that it is too busy. For the record I was only sharing, not seriously considering.

looks more similar to the new 6 series front without the LED, seems to me like it's missing the lower lip to complete it.
I think the body kit is out of control.... Looks like a Honda or Toyota threw up on that unsuspecting BMW!
