The mouth opening on the M-tech and the M5 are totally different if you pay attention and the fangs are designed different. I have some pic of the M-tech on my car and the M5 currently, but i'm at work so i don't have photo's of them to post up. I'll do them after work today.

The only really big difference is that the M-Kit has driving lamps in the brake vent openings whereas the M5 kit keeps those open.

Besides the Fog light pay attention to the brake ducts it's totally differnt and the mouth is rounder on the M-tech then the M5. It's different in my opinion.

The wheel arches are more flared on the M5.
