If you're looking for something more affordable than the BMW M-tech kit, you might want to consider the ones from Umnitza. I don't think they sell the entire kit as a package, so you might have to purchase it piece by piece. There are a couple of members here who have it on their cars.

i just purchased a look a like M5 bumper that is made of the dura-flex material in its fiberglass... well i took it to a dealership to have them paint match and install it (they owe me a favor so it was not to costly), befroe they did anything they test fitted it and they said to take it back... the gaps were larger then a stock bumper made of the ABS plastic and their technician warned of the fiberglass material that is easily cracked, warped or broken...... it is not a good fit and will give a cheap look..... need i say anymore.... i will never put fiberglass on a luxury vehicle... specially a peice that large and important.... mind as well go get a rice rocket if your going to use fiberglass.... the item, also off ebay, looked very similiar to that pic your looking at, not same company, however it did not look like the picture when i picked it up and the sound of fiberglass moving around is very disturbing... better to fork over a little bit more cash... it will save you in the long run.. good luck
