My Ride: 2004 BMW 545i Silver,Gray, Metallic. Blk Dakota leather. Nav. Heads up disply. PDC. Pro logic 7 sound. 35% tint.
Mods. MTECH body kit. OEM trunk finisher and M5 spoiler.OEM 166 wheels. Blk and wht CF Roundels.
Orion V2 AEs. LCI taillights with Ricky effect. LED interior lights. LED license plate light. HID fogs. Smoked LED side markers. White cluster mod. Coding. RPI scoop & BMC filter. Gloss black OEM grills.CF interior trim. B&B exhaust.
As stated, I'm thinking about putting a lip on my M5 Tech bumper.
I don't want to spend a lot of $ because I know it will get demoed before too long.
(I already scrape my bumper often without a lip.)
What are my options?
Does anyone have one they want to sell?
Umnitza has one for $149, is it any good?
Does the Hamann rep fit my bumper?
Also if I get one for my silver grey E60 should I,
a. Paint it to match the car
b. Paint it black
c. Go carbon fiber
Thanks guys!

AFAIK, only the umnitza splitter will fit their rep m5 bumper....splitters made for oem m5 bumpers will not work on rep m5 bumpers...

umnitza's stock on these will be in on the 10th. (ive been bothering them about these spitters!)
paint it silver like your car.
if you dont like it over time you can wrap it in either cf di noc or just a black vinyl wrap.
if you have the silver gray metallic (a08) paint match isnt really easy. so take it to a good body shop or do it right yourself..
it took me a few trips to the paint store to get the right color and do it myself
