My Ride: 2004 530i Titanium Silver. (6spd)(Sport)(Premium)(Navi)(Active Steering)(Adaptive Headlights)
I got my kit from gary at newport a few weeks ago. Cost me $1,477 shipped from Rhode Island to Long Island. No questions with OEM. Everything was perfect. Paint and install ran me $1,200. Certainly a difference in price from the rep setup, but well worth it if you can swing it.

Good point about the shipping, we recommend Trinity, John (Brabusw209amg) and Acute mainly because of their customer service. They really take good care of us and they make sure their customers are satisfied and happy, so in return we make sure we let the world know just how good they are and how much we appreciate them. Those guys are the best vendors I have ever dealt with - and I have modded every one of the 36 cars I've owned.
I installed the rep side skirts and M5 "look" nose recently and am very satisfied. I had to tweak a few things but nothing a good body shop wouldn't do. I like the M5 look over the OEM Mtech and to 99% of people who see the car they don't know the difference between Mtech and M Style (M5 Rep) they just like the way the car looks
Also the based on my research the Mtech install is more involved, has more pieces. It makes sense to me that the Mtech kit would be more expensive to install, at least the nose

My Ride: 545i Black exterior with balck interior. Sport package. K&N air filter.
Hey, how is it going NeRwEEzy? It's been a while since I bought air scoops from you. 2 months ago, I hit a truck tire on interstate and my front bumper got messed up. I overcame my anger, but I need to replace my bumper. Would you send me some information about Mtech front bumper please. I do not have PDC by the way. Thank you.
