The M5 front bumper with fogs looks good, but for some reason I still like the m-tech front more. I need to see this in person

Hey Guys, it's confirmed that these brake ducts are for the OEM M5 bumper:
51117895743 Air duct left @ $45.00 & 51117895744 Air duct right @ $45.00
with the brackets:
51117906473 left Bracket for air duct @ $17.25 & 51117906474 right Bracket for air duct @ $17.25
These are for the OEM M-Tech bumper:
51117896587 FRONT LEFT BRAKE AIR DUCT, @ $26 & 51117896588 FRONT RIGHT BRAKE AIR DUCT, @ $26
(so far, it seems the brackets are not needed for the M-Tech setup)
So, it's either $124.50 or $52.00 (plus shipping). Pricing quoted from Gary @ Newport BMW.
We just have to find out what parts fit on the Umnitza bumper... It's confusing because the bumper should be an M-Tech, but it looks like the M5...
Who ever gets the bumper shipped / installed first, please update the rest of us on what we should order.
on post # 17 of this link, AlexFW seems to have modded the OEM 530i ducts to work on an M-bumper:

Thanks Ghostteck! Let me know what you discover when you do your install.
Man, waiting for USPS to update their shipping status online sucks!!!
