I had BMW of Newport (Garry) install the M Kit on my Monaco Blue 535xi and they did a great job - absolutely no problems and a free loaner. See SA Chis Medeiros - great guy. Just down Rt. 24 from Boston!!!!

Do you have any close up pics of the front bumper installed? I am curious if there are large gaps between the new bumper and the hood, or is it not that noticable? Some of the installs i have seen, you can see the space from a mile away...it will be nice to see a local job and Im sure it will help me make my decision...however, i wonder if each car is different, especially since yours is an 08 and mine is an 04?

Hi Guys - I am thinking about getting an mtech kit, but not sure how it would look in blue and with my 124's...anyone seen any pics of this combo here? Gary in Newport offers the kit for a good price and I could pick it up and save the shipping, so Im on the fence.

Thanks

Just heard back from Garry and he said I would have to bring it somewhere to be painted as they could not match the color do to fading over the last few years. I think member slowhand had it all done through Garry as his car is a 2008 and they prob didnt have the matching issues that I would have.

Alex's are for real since he's in Europe. Member AKAlius sells the stickers. I bought a set and am very pleased. Pics in my Galleries from August. Cheers.

I'm of the opinion that an M-tech kit will enhance the look of ANY colour combination/wheel set no matter what. You really can't go wrong with it. Just my $0,02.
