I still don't understand why the M kit has to be installed here and not in Germany prior to shipping...anyone?
They will probably do the same thing with the e60. I think BMW holds back on stuff so they can keep upgrading each year to increase sales.

Also its not on the standard price list and is in the accessory manual. I wonder what the VPC does with all the bumpers and sides that it removes from all the euro kit installs.

I was told at the VDC tour that they get sent back to Germany

Why doesn't the factory get the word that a partiicular car is getting the Aero Kit and they could build the car bumperless in Germany and ship it to the VPC for the aero kit install. These cars are supposed to be known for their German precision and enginnering but they are shipping bumpers back and forth across the world for no apparent reason.
I have heard that BMW is going to ship spark plugs to the moon and back for the ///M6.
