My Ride: Current: 08' white 535i premium package
Mods: Dinan aluminum pedals
LED Rear license plate lights
Future Mods: M-tech bodykit
OEM 167 Rims
Past: 06' metallic black 525xi premium and sport package
Hey I'm thinking of getting the M-tech bodykit but the BMW dealer is asking $7000 + paint and install, so it will cost around $9000 including tax. I knew it would be expensive to get it done at the dealer but didn't think it would be that much.
Anyways, I was wondering if any of you guys knew a place where I could get the kit for cheaper.
I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and my car's 08' white 535i.
ALso, is it hard to DIY the kit? I have no experience installing this kind of stuff.
The only thing I have installed in my life is the aluminum pedals.
Thanks guys

Garry Romani of BMW of Newport Rhode Island charges $1250 US for the kit. That's not painted or installed though. You can also contact member, John@Eurorev for their pricing. $9000 is just nuts!

I know a guy that sells the kit for 2100 painted. If you are looking for the quad, he can also exchange the rear bumper for the original m5 bumper at no extra charge. Let me know if you are interested.
