I have seen many different prices and places that make/sell the M5 front bumper from DDM to another one, I think Umnitza being another from 140-240 or whatever the prices were...and the matte black grills for about 49.99. Now I am a new owner coming from the Honda s2000 scene, so prices on the BMW are not very familiar to me. Are those good prices? and how are the fitments of the front bumper and the grill? quality etc. Thanks a LOT!
2008 535i - Black
The car should be coming into my hands soon...
I know on DDMs site for about 450, it includes the grill, fog lights, everything according to them...is that a lot? good price? what exactly is needed with the bumper.

I have the whole kit from Umnitza. I think it was around $800. The quality is really good. Fitment wasn't perfect on the front, but that is what I expected from a replica bumper. Nobody can tell when I show them the car. For the money it's a really good deal. I also have the matte black grills from umnitza and they fit perfect.

Matte black trim (called Shadowline trim) is standard when you have the Sport Package. They are both factory pieces. I chose to paint my Chrome trim (I wanted an even more unique look so I went with metallic satin black). The other option is the M5 standard gloss black window trim, it looks really good.

black (shadowline) trim usually comes with the sport package. it can also be changed, a lot of people changed chrome to black
