Looking at 535i's as well as 550i's. I know that if I get a 535 that I will want to put the m tech on. Does anyone know if having the night vision will pose an install problem or whether it is not even doable. Tks

For OEM - converting Night Vision from stock 535i to Mtech bumper requires the grille cutout and relocation brackets. Same goes for Active Cruise Control

I know they made updates with the latest version of the aftermarket bumper - but I'd have Umnitza or whomever you talk to specifically state that it will fit your application with no bumper modifications. When I asked awhile back I was told that "I" could modify it This is why I went with OEM.

I have the part numbers for the NV relocation brackets - PM me if you need them.

I have Mtech and Nightvision. It was doable back in 2006 when I purchased mine.

i dont have night vision but im going to rig up something myself, im working on getting a video interface setup and im going to use that to connect a nice infrared camera to either the license plate frame or down in the grill - this gives me the option to pick out a camera with naturaz zoom and abilities. should be a cheap install too after i get the stinking video interface bought and installed

LOL, the thumbnail and the actual pic size is the same, can't see a thing

Would be nice if you can provide a bigger picture, thanks.
