Hi All,

Newbie here. I just sold my E46 and I just picked up a 530i Sport last week. I am thinking about getting the Hamann front bumper and I have a few questions.

1. Does the headlight cleaning system work with this bumper?
2. How good are the fog lights that come with it?

Here's my ride:

Hey man,
We should swap cars more often. I'd never seen my car before from the rear, side, or front while in motion.

The Hamann front bumper in my opinion is the most aggressive bumper out there for the E60.. and its worth every penny.. the fogs that do come with it are really bright however they are really yellow.. so as ATS and myself have done is change up the fog bulbs to a super white..they are only about $50-70. And as far as the washers. You have 2 options.. 1. Hamann gives you a system of their own.. You use the original hoses that send the washer fluid but they give you there own mechanism which displaces the fluid.. 2. However the next option I've only seen on few e60's, where it takes the orignal stock bumper mechanism that displaces the fluid and custom fit it on the Hamann bumper..Either one works just as well.. preferably I wish I didn't have them at all.. I never even use the washer fluid due to haveing a black car it really stains the paint.. but if it could just only shout the windshield and not the lights / the whole dam hood lol then I might use it a bit more..heres a pics of what im talking about below:
