General impresion:
IMHO the best available solution besides (M5 bumper). In person it does not look
a boys' racer or a plow car. Still very noble but with sports flair.
Front view: Central part of M5 bumper is certainly better but than M-kit but I can't say that for the sides with ACS add-on. ACS solution is much better than M-kit, the latter looking a bit underdone. In particular it is striking how poor the M-kit soltion is for the placement of foglights while ACS covering them nicely and gently.
Side view : both M5 and M-kit bumpers look miscompleted with a lot of lines clashing while ACS add-on provides better finish.
Resume: I change my order for the new car from ACS standard kit to M-kit with ACS add-on.
Price: 362.07 EUR (without VAT , paint and install)
Availability: Part no 51110316 will be ready for sale within approx 1 month but ACS is already taking orders so if you want to get it delivered in September - hurry up.
Rear bumper : same price but really not much diffrent from M-kit for me.
Special regards to Andy545 for the contact

I was debating between the Breyton front lip and the M-tech kit but once I saw the ACS add ones, I was sold on the M-tech. I called CEC wheels in Los Angeles (They're a distributor for ACS here in California) but they don't have any record of that number. I guess I have to wait until its release before they will even know about it. But I think that the extra fins give the car an awesome look, probably not everyone's cup of tea but it sure floats my boat.

Just noticed what looks like a chrome insert for the central grill suround, is this part of the pack?

Sorry forgot to mention. There is a chrome insert on the expocar but it is not included in the add-on price and should be ordered as an extra.But I prefer w/o it (chrome reflects the grill parts which IMO are ugly compared to M5 solution)
The add-on could not be ordered from the factory as it is from AC Schnitzer but here in Europe ACS authorised dealers are normally BMW garages so they can retrofit immly when the new car arrives.
