Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has bought one of these kits? I am looking for one for my E60 LCI 2008 and what is the quality and fitment like on these kits to justify spending more for a genuine BMW kit.

I notice this one is for 2004-2007, is there a BMW sport kit for LCI models were they made after the facelift?

Even if the bumper quality is good, it's not OEM quality, and this bumper costs nearly as much as OEM. 349 GBP is around $600 US and the OEM one is about $700 here in the US. For that little savings I'd rather go with OEM.

the OEM mtech kits for the 2008 models e60 is discontinued from bmw.
i called 5 different bmw dealerships in the states and they all said discontinued.
some sites has it listed as in stock but once u call they will look it up and realize its discontinued.

i was looking around for an OEM kit as well and was told the same thing about it being discontinued. so i went with the umnitza kit and i'm satisfied with it. of course it needed a little tweaking and i ordered the OEM brake ducts and rear brackets to make it fit better. so if you can't find an OEM kit, then umnitza is not a bad option.
