umnitza is selling their kit for 800 shipped. where did you find the factory for 1205? i was quoted 1350 for the factory, that was the lowest i have seen yet.
another question i have is are the brake ducts the same for the front bumper and all mounting hardware?

I'm in the same boat but I can't decide if I wanna go M-tech or if I want to do M5. Tough tough decision. If you want to go the factory route Tischer BMW is all factory equipment and all hardware that is needed.

unfortunately Tischer only has kits with PDC now. they no longer have any w/o PDC. i was told the mtech kit has been discontinued. It would've been $1600 for the LCI kit plus another $175 for shipping. Plus I would've had to pay extra to fill in the PDC holes at the body shop. so i went with the Umnitza kit and am satisfied. haven't had the chance to take pictures and do a review, but will hopefully get to it soon!

also i noticed that with infiniti and other dealers whenever you order bumpers with them they come painted. is that the same with BMW? i doubt it but its just a question.

I'm doing the install with my bro in law so if any of you have questions feel free to ask. We already installed all the ducts, trimmed the liners, etc. The kit also came with sooooo many extra parts which I plan to post up for sale as well. Stay tuned!
