Go to this web site and the very last item is a complete E60 M-Tech fron bumper kit including the fogs and grills
All for $375. I don't know what the bumper is made from, but that is a pretty good deal i think?

cheap indeed. imho i'd be VERY worried about fitment issues. i've dealt with products like this, most likely made from china, and i've never had one fit well without extra work needed by your body shop. just look at all those honda's on the street with shotty bod kits, i wouldn't be surprised if you end up with the same thing. you drive a BMW not a Honda please treat it like so.

Hey Matt

Sorry I didn't mean to question how you treat your BMW. Just warning everyone be careful w/ those cheap body kits.

The whole reason I posted this in the first place was to respond to an ad in Bimmerforums ( listed below). This guy is selling the same kit for $750, I just posted it here for anyone interested.....

Its hard to tell by the picture if the bumper is made by cheap materials or not. The price is definitely great. Since they offer local pick up as an option, someone in the area who is interested should go check it out in person. It could be a good deal. Who knows?

Thanks for sharing that, Matt.

I'm sure the bumper will look great. It's the fitment I'm worried about and that's a lot harder to test.
