Heys guys, I have searched about this but have gotten just a few results, not enough to help me make a decision.
I have a '06 530i non sport that I bought 6 months ago, imediately I bought the AC S bumper lip because every one and their mother had the M5 style bumper.
I have'nt installed yet because I am having doubts about how it looks now.
I also have the rear ACS trunk spoiler which I will install because I really like it, I'm basically looking for opinions from anyone that wants to chime in and help me decide which way to go with the front bumper, and any opinions will be appreciated as will be any photos for inspiration.
Thanks....

I'd go with the M5/Mtech replica. I had the ACS molded into the bumper when I first got the car but after a few weeks I wasn't into it too much. Below are a few pics of what mine used to look like before I got the M5 replica.
Keep in mind that I rarely see M5/M5 replica on the road. A lot of people on the forum might have them, but the percentage on the actual road is probably less than 1%.

@ 540i yours looked good because it's also a dark colored car, my car is titanim silver, the lip looks like it has a very small mouth.
Now I am stuck with this lip, maybe I'll modify it in some way

Looking at all these bumper it seems the mtech looks more aggressive than the OEM m5.
I don't know if it's justifiable to replace a perfectly good bumper, I mean, I'm looking at 500+ that's including painting.

Hi new owner in ks. I just installed the acs lip and I have to admit it looks great on my car. Also added the m tech side skirts and acs rear trunk spoiler. Looking forward to contributing and meet some local members!
