I dont know, I actually went to their warehouse and picked it up. I opened the package on the spot and saw foglight openings so I figured it was the mtech bumper. I thought the only difference between the mtech and the m5 were the fogs but I guess the openings are different too, learn something new everyday. Oh well, worked out for me anyways
I'm happy it worked out better, and now that I see the difference up close, I'm, for once, very happy with the screw up from our factory, the m5 with fogs looks significantly better than the Mtech.
Can you drop by - when you have time - to let us take some photos?

so this is the m5 bumper with fogs, if we decide to order this bumper from you, we would need to specific this as "m5 bumper with fogs"?
And is it the same price the with mtech front bumper?
