Well I've had no luck in finding a Hartge splitter for my m-tech bumper around my area, so I'm thinking about replacing my bumper for an m5 bumper and getting the Hartge add on. I think it looks nicer and is alot easier to find. Most of the m5 bumpers I find on ebay say there for 04-07. Will it fit not fit my 08? If it does is the swap simple? because my car is just a lease and I'd hafta swap bumpers back when the lease is over. Or does the whole idea sound stupid and not worth it? Input appreciated.

Rocky, you didn't get anything from SonicMS? Try www.GGITuning.com. They're in SoCal and are the new authorized Hartge distributor.
Many people have installed M5 bumpers but there'll be a slight gap as the fenders of the regular E60 is not flared like the M5. You can probably adjust it to fit though and yeah, you should be able to put it back to stock just as easy as putting it on.
