Smile 2010 535i M-sport Body Kit Conversion

Hi Everyone!!!

I just retired my e39 and purchased a 2010 e60 535ix. The car is great but I am in dire need of the m-sport (mtech) body kit. I would like OEM but the pricing I've come around is steap! Can anyone suggest anything in the east end (I am in Toronto Canada) but I can drive down to pick up or ship closer to me (buffalo) to avoid issues at the border. Ive heard of umnitza and other replicas but still unsure about the quality and fit. Ive also thought of buying used msport bumpers/ rockers but from what Ive researched there is more to it than just replacing the stock bumpers with the m-sport? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks, Bruno

I bought mine whole M5tech kit from Umnitza , quality isn't bad, but cheap for the price, i recommend one of those such as Umnitza and Trinity autosport if you want the m5 look, but u can also choose their m tech and buy separate conversion kit from ECS Tuning like the air duct to complete the look also functional.

thank you Yiqiuc, I've heard that the quality og Trinity is better than Umnitza (taiwan vs china make)? Don't want to change out to dual exchaust and create more of an expense or I would go the M5 route as well...you mentioned the quality is ok,...how is the fit???

fitment is good, just by looking at it, it's hard to tell it's not an oem part. A perfect paint job also required. And I do believe either Umnitza or Trinity, they have the same supplier. old pic below

#fakenews

Our suppliers are similar, we sell the same parts, but we important containers directly so can offer better pricing AND we offer pre-paint services. So if you've heard what you've heard, that's inaccurate.

Similar.

We have several hundreds of installed products on people's cars both locally and all over the country.

We imported these first back in 2008 and have been able to maintain supply throughout!

We found 1 - if we are pre-painting it then we can offer it to you because it's blemished and we'll need to get our painter to correct some of the minor waviness in it. But we'll be able to ship that 1 bumper if you want a slight discount on it for correcting the issues.

Give us a call if you want. It is the last one and we'll have more end of this month probably.

here's something to consider:

name the bumper color - other than Ti-Silver and get $5 off your bumper pre-paint order.

Here's a little info on my non m5 bumper an skirts.. Where ever you by, make sure it's the poly propylene not the duraflex material. I got my bumper with lights for under 300 new and the skirts for 130. Now my issue around here is that it was hard for me to find someone to paint just those parts off the car, then I couldn't find someone to put it on cause it wasn't oem. Then there are the ones who want the car so they can blend fenders. Im putting it on cause ill take the time and do it correctly. I finally found a shop that will do the bumper, hood, and skirts for $900. The hood was keyed and the parts are bare. Hope this helps someone, cause I would never believe that body shops only paint what they want! Set up a paint shop for aftermarket!
