Hello All
So a few months ago i got into an accident thanks to the crazy winter storms in Minnesota, i ended up rolling it into the ditch luckily for me it was a soft roll as none of the airbags went off but it still meant that i needed a new roof, two door skins and a hood. I must say i was suprised to say the E60 held its own considering how bad it couldnt have been. Anyways I finally got the car into the shop for repairs and figured i might as well use this oppurtunity to get an Mtech Kit. Obvisouly the bumpers werent damaged so this would be coming out of my pocket, My question is this after talking to a few vendors on here Trinity, Umnitza and the dealership i can't quite decide which to go with. I know Trinity is the people's choice on here because of their excellent customer service but Umnitza has the deals. So my question is this other than the customer service complaints are there any issues with Umnitza products? Trinity has it listed for $1077 but i can get OEM Mtech from my dealer for $1280 shipped so it doesnt make much sense for me to go with Trinity. Happy Modding!!!

$1280 for OEM??? Hmmm that sounds like the logical route honestly, but you're coming out of pocket. Trinity might be a good idea, but aren't Umnitza's kit around $800? Both companies appear to have good quality products.

Yea i get a buddy's employee discount on OEM parts, i'm thinking of either doing that or doing the $800 umnitza. So the Umnitza's are solid products then?

Sounds good. Yay for employee discount, lol. From what I have seen on here, Umnitza's products are good quality. I haven't had first hand dealings personally, but they seem legit.

My Ride: 08 LCI 535i sport M5 umnitza full kit, Maya RM 1 245/35/20 20x9 et16, 275/30/20 20x10.5 et17, Future mods- KW coilovers V3 and StopTech brake
That's a great price for the oem. I purchased the umnitza m5 kit and had to do alot to make the front bumper fit properly. Just trial and error. The side skirts were only about 3mm short( barely noticeable).The rear bumper fitted much better than I expected.
Great price for OEM m-tech! GO for OEM if you can
