QUESTION: Does anybody here at e60 know if the BMW M Aerodynamic kit's rear M bumper at bottom is painted the same color of the BMW that its going on, or is it supposed to be painted flat black as in the picture?

Thanks in Advance.

I was asked the same question by my body shop. I told them paint it same color as car. I have not seem an e60 with black diffuser(bottom portion you are referring to). Might look good but I'm not that daring.

Here's my rear end. You like?

If you had it installed at VPC they would paint it the same color as the rest of the car, so I suggest you do the same. This is the way I have it and it looks great, but then again my car is black.

Hey viking...this is a off topic but do you know if Hartge makes a front splitter for the M Tech front spoiler? I've seen pictures of it but not on their site. I thought perhaps it's not available to the US but you guys in Europe might have it.

I was actually disappointed to find that the rear of my E61 M Sport was body colour, have been considering making it semi-black.

I have no idea, my dealer said no but I`ll make him next time he`s down to Breckingen. My dealer was at the Hartge centre right before easter so it might be a few weeks till he goes there again.

Hi Viking:

I'm going with the same color as my car. (THANKS)...By the way did you remove your back trunk deck lid makings, (545, 530i or 525i) and replace them with just the "M"? or M5 or left it blank?

One BMW dealer in GA said I should put on my rear trunk lid, the "M5" badge:, beings it is an M kit. and a 5 series, but like I told him, it is not an M5, and I hate being deceived, and deceiving others!
