Was the point to show that they were identical? I can't see the difference. I've been in the researching phase for a while now, and I too had questions on what was different from the three different M Aero replicas.

There are differences.
At least 5.

(Same car) My car. I had the Mtech before too and you can definitely see the difference.

look really hard, there's a difference.

There are MANY differences actually. The Umnitza M5 bumper is WORLDS better than Mtech.

Are there any hardware changes that need to be made if I'm going from a stock 545i bumper to the Umnitza M5? I got bumped into this week on the rear bumper, so the car will be in the body shop soon. May have them do the front bumper while the car is prepped.

I'm confused. Didn't I post the differences between the two?? The front is different.

Obviously the rear is different. and the side skirts are the same.

They seem to be rather minor differences. Maybe seeing one in person will help me decide whether the mesh grill for light thing is good or not.

You did a good job explaining the differences with clear detailed pics!
