Nice !!!
I'm in Toronto and I got a quote from Maranello and they want $2100 (kit) + $2500 labour + tax. and the car need to be with them for 5-10days
Town & Country is more reasonable at $2100 (kit) + $1000 labour + tax. But they say the kit doesn't come with the side sills and the rear deck spoiler. And they only need the car for 1 day when everything is ready for installation.
Do you have the part numbers for side sills and spoiler? How much is the spoiler installed?
They also say that a set of fog lights come with the kit. Are these fog lights better than the originals?
thx

Hello Folks
Just got my 545 back from Maranello in Toronto. My buddy and I have the identical cars, so we got a fantastic deal since they could use the same paint for both.
As most have said, the rear is much better looking when you see it in person,
If you have any questions, feel free to ask !

Awesome! I'm having my kit installed next week. However, I read on another thread that the standard fog lamps do not fit the m sport front bumper - Is it rue that the bmw ordered m sport kit comes with new fog lamps?

I don't see anything wrong with putting the //M emblem. He does have the MTech Kit made by BMW Motorsport which that emblem represents. He's not putting the M5 emblem on. It's like putting the AC Schnitzer emblem on cars with AC Schnitzer products as long as you're not putting ACS5.
