BTW does Hamann sell their kit as a whole only, can't buy that separately?

Yes they do... I'd originally thought to get ONLY the front and the sides... Auto Design Haus quote me $21000 not installed... Another shop quote me $25000 installed...

I think the front and the sides are the best part for Hamann... Spoiler I'd like the ACS... Rear Apron I'd like M Aero the best...

But well... I'd finally picked M Aero because, Hamann is made of fiberglass... Remember, fiberglass is fiberglass... no matter how good the quality is, it's still fiberglass... And don't forget you are living in HK, you don't want to crash your fiberglass bumper cover by just going to some deep slope for parking garage...

ACS is nice, but this time I have to alliance w/ Bunbun that, I'd believe more in OEM factory quality... If you ever see the raw piece of the M kit, you'll understand my thoughts, it's just a state of art fit and finish... (well, I'm very picky on fit and finish)

Well, again... just my 2cents...

I agreed with gf366. Pefer everything OEM factory quality. Personally reckon the M Aero look nicer than the other although there are many around. Havent said that, i m very tempted to install rear spolier. Either the M spolier ( The smaller one ) or the ACS. Not sure mix and match between M aero with ACS spolier ? Any opinion ?

The ACS spoiler is a bit too big and the M spoiler is too small, would like something in between.

My M packege came with a spoiler just between the two above in terms of size. But I chose not to hv it installed because I like the way how the deck looks as is. Too bad I dont hv a pics of it. I gave it to my service rep as a gift, not sure what he did with it. I think gf366 also has it but also chose not to install it.

Isn't the spoiler in the second picture the M spoiler?

Hey bun, I still need help regarding my rims. Do you think is good to buy the M5 wheels from mgmbh1? Don't know will it be too big for our car? If not what are some good alternative? I want OEM rims.

It is another style of rear spoiler that came with my M tech kit which is neither of those styles shown. Maybe gf366 still has it with him and can take a picture to show you.

I like the M5 rims but it all depends on how much. I thought the wheel well size is the same between ours and the M5's? so the M wheel should fit right? Or you can just go with any of the 17" OEM wheels if you're worried about ride quality. Mine is just right for me, neither too hard nor too soft.
