Just wanted some quick opinions. I've got an 08 535i and I actually like the look of the red reflectors that are in the rear bumper. I've seen a couple of e60's on the road with the M-Tech kit on the front and sides while keeping the stock rear bumper.
Any thoughts on this? Would you replace the rear bumper with the M-Tech rear or keep the stock one with red reflectors?

Go with M5 rear bumper.. looks the best. =)
I used to have just the front Mtech kit with stock sides and stock rear. You can see it in my gallery if you want.
I got bored of it and wanted quads, so M5 rear bumper came along and i was set. =)

I would go two routes
M-tech front and M-tech side and stock rear ...like KnightCom's, it looks really nice, if you want quads you can actually have the stock rear bumper professionally cut. I use to have the M5 front, M-tech sides, and stock rear with the other side cut so i could have quads
or
M-tech front and M-tech side and M5 rear end, which is what I have now

I been thinking about this too. I like the stock rear much better than the M-Tech. In fact I asked Tony for a price of just the front and side skirts. (thanks for the quick response by the way Tony)
Im still trying to decide when to order. I was thinking of changing to a quad stock rear. I think that would look different...
