Should i order the kit myself from Bekkers or should I let my dealer/body shop order it since they will be doing the install? Im not sure if they actually put one on before, so I hope there wont be missing parts. What do you guys think? Anyone experience difficulties here in the US when allowing the shop to order? Missing Parts? Thanks Guys!

Bekkers is expensive, and it's not even painted.
Whats the average rate for this kit? Know anyone else online or by phone? Thanks!

...safest and easiest way is to just go to the dealer and have them do everything, its about $1250-1350 for the primed kit and another $1200 for the paint/install

If this is, would they sell the front bumper alone?

No, the list price is around 1700 or 1800 I think, maybe 1900, I forget. Still cheaper than bekkers and directly from BMW.
My install took two days... they have to cut the wheel well liners to fit it properly -- FYI.

....the price is based on what other members have stated they had paid for the kit which i would use to negotiate, i have not made my deal yet as im waiting for sept order specs for my E60 and i will include this in my order... the parts are as follows:
51.71.0.396.683 - this is the complete M body kit, PRIMED only and WITHOUT PDC
51.71.0.396.684 - as above but WITH PDC holes cutout already
...pehaps Lomag can tell you how long it took for his paint/install
51.71.0.396.683 - this is the complete M body kit, PRIMED only and WITHOUT PDC
51.71.0.396.684 - as above but WITH PDC holes cutout already
