I had the Hamann on my 545 with M Tech kit and now have the Hartge on my M5. I know there's a small difference between the Hartge splitter for the M Tech vs the M5 front spoilers but I like the Hartge more since it follows the curve of the spoiler and doesn't have that gap like the Hamann did.

+1 What EuroCarFan said.

I've had both as well. Hartge gives me a bit more clearance in the mid-section,
but not much over the Hamann. I can live with either one. Go with what you like
best on your car

I like the Hartge. ever since I posted our Hartge thread, most inquiries/orders have been about the splitter both for M5 front and mtech front
