I am wondering if anyone here has ordered from them and what sort of fit and quality was achieved.
MY concern is that I am afraid that my park distance sensors wont work, or the headlamp washer wont be able to flip up and work properly, and that the fit and quality just wont be to bmw standard.
Also im in Toronto, Ontario Canada any idea on shipping costs? and if this kit can endure our winters?
OH AND ALSO has anyone purchased that quad exhaust system??? I am 100% putting quad exhaust if i get this kit.
THANK YOU

all of the aftermarket bumpers that pretty much every vendor sells come from China. It's not like you are getting a different product when you order it from Umnitza vs Trinity, and so on. I would buy it based on the shipping costs and customer service
The front bumper actually fits great. The headlight washer hinges don't line up to the brackets, but I never intended to use them anyway. The sideskirts were about 1/8" to 1/4" too short on my car, but that's hardly noticeable.

+1 on the headlight washers not lining up. My shop is installing the front and sides and he said everything is perfect, except for the washers. I just put my shop in contact with umnitza...maybe they have some tips for making it work? What about anyone else? I suppose, I could go the "I don't care about the washers aso I'll disconnect them route", but that is no fun...

Nevermind, my shop figured everything out. No problems, perfect fitment. (the bumpers from trinity and umnitza are identical FYI)

More like "nearly" identical, they do not get them from the same vendors - that was an assumption by Umnitza
