I'm looking to get a body kit for my 530i and i've been debating between the rieger and the m-tech or m style kit, and I've seen others that looked sick but i didnt know what they were... what do you think?

M-tech if you get the front splitter...without the splitter, it seems to be incomplete somehow. BTW, take a look at the HM CF style front bumper from Trinity, either pic is deceiving or that one seems tobe a big more bulkier than the Mtech.

youre right the mtech with the splitter is ill and i'm leaning towards that, but the HM CF style i think would just look rediculous because itd be the only thing thats carbon fiber on my car and from the pic the whole bumper is CF and that is a bit too much, but maybe thats just me

I've always been a fan of understated, OEM quality things. That way, you don't out-grow it down the road. Rieger is nice but it would be a bit too flashy and "loud" for most.

Rieger is much more dramatic and attention grabbing. It is so rare while M Tech kits are ubiquitous.
But to me, the Rieger kit sits down waaay too low to be practical and makes it more for show than for go. Makes the car virtually impossible to safely get in and out of driveways while driving normally. And it scrapes when driving twisties. I don't want a kit where I would always be worried about scraping it, cracking it and it tearing off. For that reason, I'd never get it for me although I admire it when I see it on the road.
