Umnitza, M5Tech for LCI and Pre-LCI got no differences? Do you mean the M5Tech is one size fits all or they are different in fitment? Thanks.

fitment is different between the preLCI and LCI e60s, and there are also PDC and non-PDC versions.

If I recall correctly the brackets that hold the bumper on are different for Pre-LCI and LCI cars. Nerweezy can clarify

BMXtreme:
You are getting misleading information.

PDC does not depend on LCI or non-LCI, it depends on the sport package or non-sport package PDC depending on the car, not the year of car.

M5techs for the E60 2004-2007 are the same exact bumpers as the M5tech for the 2008+ cars.

We know because - well, we install them - and because our customers install them.

If you need PDC, there are 2 types and it merely depends on the size of the PDC.

Whoa, thanks Umnitza, so that means all M5Tech came out of the same mold for all 2004 to 2009 E60 then? Anyone else can back this up as well?
