Yes, that is the M Sport kit. How much did it cost out of interest? I am thinking of changing the rear bumper only as I prefer the non M Sport front.

No he didn't. That's about right for UK / Ireland. We don't all live in the USA where you get everything for half price you know !!

Don't know but personally, like DennisM, I wouldn't want to be contacting an overseas vendor and having parts like that shipped to me !! I would want to go in to my local BMW shop, say "can I have this fitted please", pay, and drive my car out with the new parts. Even if it's genuine OEM parts, which I expect it is, it's just too much hassle. Dennis is paying for original parts, from a BMW shop, _fitted_ by a BMW shop. That can't be compared to an overseas parts "shipping" person/company. I would rather pay a bit more to have the job done properly ... as I always say, if we were worried about saving a few pounds here and then, we'd hardly be driving round in E60s would we !!

If it's only a few bucks, then I agree. If we're talking more than $500, than I would use quad_m. The guy ships his OEM kits to Thailand and Singapore. Ireland is nothing, if he's shipping to these other places.
