My Ride: 2004 545i 6spd, blk on blk, HRE 540R 20x9 in front and 20x10 in rear with Pirelli PZero Neros 245/25/20 front and 295/25/20 rear. H&R springs, and Eisenmann quad exhaust, V! radar detector, black grille, limo tint all around.
I finally got it done. It took the dealership forever to get the parts in but it arrived last week and I got it installed at my bodyshop. Everything costed about $1400 for the bumper, paint job and install, I also got my grilles repainted to match my front bumper. 
I'll definitely take some pics when I get a chance.
All I need to do now is to get my rims fixed and slapped back onto my baby and it'll look really nice.

I can't wait to see your car with the front bumper on. But why didn't you get the side skirt as well?

I think the car looks good with the stock side skirts, I really just liked the front bumper and because I have the Eisennman quad exhaust, I couldn't get the mtech rear bumper due to the cut out... I've taken some pics already. I just need to upload them... which I'll do asap.

Looks good and all, but wow, the rims make a big difference.? You need to post pics when you get those 540s back on.
BTW, how much is it to just paint the grill?

Yea, the 540R's made a big difference. I'm still waiting for the city to reimburse me for the damages to the rims and tires.
As for the grille, the body shop did it for free because I had to get the mtech bumper painted so they would have the paint already prepared.

. That looks sharp to me. I like it 
!!!The car looks really 'mean' with that black grill. Interesting picture by the way when you click the 1st image. Thought I would get a larger version of the image, but another 'mean machine dressed in black' came up ...
