spent all day at EuroRev w/Vincent and the gang installing my Mtech kit today. i am very happy with both install and paint. a few minor issues that Vincent will take care of w/o a doubt! in addition, i also got my black badges and matte black grills. would've gotten my taillights tinted, but didn't have time!
here are som pix.
here's the one issue i'm not clear on. there is a silver "bar" sitting behind the front mesh?! is that normal? can someone who has an '08 535i LCI who has a Mtech front bumper tell me if you have the same "bar"? Vincent seems to think it's normal, but it totally looks out of place and a "eye sore'!
this that normal?!

Nice, like the black badge...Looks Good... 
any problems getting the m-tech kit to fit the LCI? I remember a few threads in the past regarding fit issues with LCI's...
can you paint the silver bar if you find it distracting?
happy motoring...

Wow. Looks fantastic. I have that same silver bar and you can see it thru that mesh but only if you really look. No one will notice it and you will forget about it over time. Car looks great.
All the best

lol, as obsessive as most of us are on our e60's it's probably the first and last thing he looks at now...
.I don't think it looks weird/bad tho, IMHO.
