umnitza does make a splitter for their m5 rep/"m5tech" (I hate that term, just confuses things IMO)...

i hope you didn't buy the m5tech bumper to be able to fit a hartge replica lip on it, because i'm not sure it will fit. not 100%, but i haven't seen any pics of anyone that has done it. would give alot of forum members another option of front lip if it works out. good luck.

the reason i went with m5tech bumper is, that they look better without any lip added to them. whereas the m-tech bumper somewhat looks higher than the ground when u look at it from the front, and also the "bow" shaped wing on either side looks shorter compared to the m5tech bumper. & there is a better chance that a hartge replica will come out for the m5tech than the m-tech bumper.

Personally, i was really hoping to get the look like the picx below. i have everything on that picture except for the Hartge lip.

yup they do. Pretty much the whole market sells the Hamann replica. BUT NOT the Hartge replica, which i really really really wanted.

We've tried so hard to get these vendors to make the Hartge splitter for the M5Tech bumper, but was told not enough demand so we started groupbuy and that didn't go anywhere. Just get an OEM M5 bumper then the Hartge splitter IMO.

Hey jack,

Do you pics of the wheels you have for sale? How do they look on 2006 Titanium silver 530i with OEM M Aerodynamic Kit from Tischer BMW?

Thanks,

Daniel

Daniel, I'll send you some pictures of them. I'm sure they would look really good on the car with the M Aerodynamic kit.

one thing to keep in mind is it does take quite a bit of the fun away from driving, at least for me. you will most likely end up dreading driveways and some speed bumps since you'll be scraping. it really depends on how much the look means to you. here's my (dirty) car and i scrape like crazy. i'm thinking about removing the lip and i haven't even had it on that long...
