I was not to pleased with the quality of the product(made in China). I would have spent the extra 800 for a full kit from a BMW dealer, but the body shop did an awsome job on paint. On the front bumper you can see how the pull levers are not sitting correctly. PDC are not centered, but I was told by the body shop that it can sometimes come the same way from the dealer. I'm a little anal on perfection. So, I got nobody to blame but me, I chose to go the cheaper route. What do you guys think? Here are some pics

that's an M5 rep with fog or M5tech kit with rear Mtech bumper.
As for those things that you listed, I'm sure they were the same reasons why some decided to go with the OEM Mtech. Lots of members here have the M5tech and are happy with it. Personally I prefer this look over the Mtech if both do not have front lip installed. This looks a bit more aggressive yet subtle.

My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
OP, love the color though - especially, how it looks on M-tech (it didn't come on M tech from factory, right?)
Thanks for sharing! Clean ride!
