I'm doing some research on the front bumpers, going to take the dive into modding the front bumper. Anyways, I like the M5 look w/ either a flipper (vorsteiner or ACS) but didn't know which bumper will fit these. I'm sure there are some replica flippers out there which should fit either an "M5 style" or OEM M-tech, but I can't find any. Any suggestions? I truly hope there is something out there for the aftermarket bumpers...

Here are some pics I stole from my search as a reference :lol:

thanks guys

you have 2 options for the OEM M tech front bumper:

OEM CF Splitters:

for the M5 rep bumpers, there is only one splitter by umnitza that will fit (it's a one piece), as splitters made for an actual OEM M5 bumper will not fit the rep a M5 bumper...

Thanks Gene! Bummer, I wanted to save some money not going with the M-tech =(

So what fits on a mtech rep bumper?

only member I know of that has the mtech rep bumper is tex phil....

he does not have a splitter or has tried fitting a splitter to his bumper, so don't know of any splitter that will fit...


not sure if umnitza put out a splitter to fit their rep m tech bumper...check their site...

I'm leaning towards Trinity's M5 bumper. I hope in the future they'll have some rep. splitters that will fit!

remember m5 you lose fog lights mtech you keep fogs

no offense, but anytime I see flippers that crazy I think of this:

and rep m5 you keep your fog lights...but like any other mod/part, it's personal preference...

sounds good, but take a look at member DRANGED's black E60 before he sold it: m tech + OEM CF splitters...I think the OEM splitters finish the M tech bumper well..

either way post some pics after install :thumbsup:
