My Ride: My 5 and I met on Father's Day 2008 and have been together ever since. 20" Wheels (Make TBD), premium package, sport package, AiB V3 upgrade and a Passport Escort 8500 Radar Detector.
Wow... pleasant surprise imo. The M5 front with fogs is the best of both worlds!

no problem guys its nice, but for the people who bought acs splitters it sucks cause those things are so expensive =p but i think yes.. best of both world you get the more agressive M5 look and you get to keep your fogs with imo dont look so bad with the umnitza m5 bumper

Damn. That looks better. M5 bumper with foglights. Does this mean the M5 splitters can fit on this bumper. 
Or does this mean you can't fit M5 splitters because its not as wide as a M5. If that's the case, wouldn't that mean the M-tech splitters won't fit because it's a M5 style bumper.

I guess only the Vorsteiner CF splitters will fit. Not sure about the Hamann, Hartge or other splitters that go all the way across being that the M5 bumper is wider and the Umnitza fits standard E60s.
I wouldn't care though because I don't want a splitter other than the OEM CF splitters. Anyone local (Ghostteck, Stylezza) want to swap my OEM bumper for the Umnitza bumper.
