Those replica are fiberglass, as an actual kit I think made of ABS plastic maybe at least twice as much:

"All the body kits are made out of 7 layers of High Quality Fiberglass & comes with the mesh grill, which is both Lightweight and Stylish. All the body kits are brand new, primed, gel-coated, bolt on, and comes ready to be painted."

ya replicas are made out of Fiberglass, OEM one is not.
I think full M5 Kit is $1499 or so. Not painted, so $250-$300 again to get it painted. So you looking at $1800 OEM Kit w/paint + INSTALLATION charges = ~$2000!

My body shop guy told me that any aftermarket body kit, no matter who it's from (Hamann, ACS, etc...), will not fit 100%. They always have to contort the kit to fit to the car. Surprisingly, when he fitted the OEM M-Tech Aero kit, he told me that it was one of the easiest kits he'd ever assembled on a car. Take it for what it's worth. Of course, most the aftermarket kits are more expensive than OEM.

ivan that is a pure fake copy of M5 bumper

if you need the just the front bumper cover rear and sides like that one shown (No hardware kit)
I can do it for 1800 painted and shipped to your door for the
Original BMW ones.


blastiwi: yes the original M5 or M technic kit is made out from ABS plastic material by BMW
