Make the decision based on what you like, and not because of how people feel. You should make the decision and not US. That was what i have just learnt.. 
Good luck!

Exactly. Get the M kit. The others are 'over the top', IMO. Bordering on 'rice rocket'ish'.

I can see why someone would not want to go with the M-Kit. It's sort of like a "poor man's" version of the M5. Bordering on being a poser. I'm not dissing the M-Kit, just saying that there might be a valid reason why someone would go aftermarket with ACS, Hamann, etc.

My Ride: BMW 545iA Black Sapphire
Model Year: 2005
Engine: 545i
I added just an ACS front lip, and love it. It gives it just the right amount of
aggressive look I wanted while still maitaining an elegant limousine look. If I put
an M-kit front bumper only - it would look strange. M-kit looks great with the complete set. I didn't want that though.
I agree. It's personal.

M is nice but here many have it, secondly the side sill is just a make-up.-) by Hamann it channels the air to the tyres, the front to the brakes as M5 has, but with fog lamp.
Matter of taste man but Hamann is pricey and unique it makes you stand out of others depends what you want.
Mine will have it step by step: first want to install front elipsiode apron and rear deck spoiler than the rest and the WHEELZ...
but now I will have a marriage
