Alright, so I have the lci model. As ricky1329 said, the current m-tech bumper won't fit. Will the back bumper still fit? According to umnitza.com, the rear bumper fits on all e60 models. Is this true? And where can I get an m-tech style bumper to fit my 2009? If possible, please paste a link. Thanks a lot

Just contact the vendor, Umnitza in your case, and tell them that you want to buy the kit for a 2009 535i (LCI model). Vince.

the umnitza will fit, but keep in mind that aftermarket diffusers will not fit AFAIK...so if you want a different diffuser you will want to get an OEM M tech ream bumper...unless umnitza has plans to release diffusers as well...

Haha thanks guys. I have a grasp on about 60% on what you guys are saying. I think I'm just going to get the rear bumper first. The m-tech pdc one on umnitza should work right, regardless if I have the lci model or not?

is the pricing reasonable at sonic ms? i don't want to spend more than $1000 on the front and rear bumpers w/ installation. if you guys could give a guesstimate that would be cool.

Old thread but... there were slight fitment issues on the rear bumper for me on my 08 535i', the bottom piece on the bumper which latches down underneath the car and is bolted on wouldn't reach the proper spot because of some plastic blocking its path. They had to modify it and add an extra piece of plastic to lengthen the bottom piece so they could bolt it.
