From your experience, what are the cheapes prices for the M-Tech kit, and where did you get yours. Also, what did it cost you to actually paint and put it on. Tyring to justify the purchase - both front and rear bumpers were lightly scratched (both on a parking lot, different occasions) and the cost to repaint both bumpers is $850. I'm thinking maybe its time to invest in M-kit, but trying to get an estimate on the cost and see if worth it. Thanks!

Crevier quote was $1295 + $300 shipping! My local dealer has it for $1600, so $5 is not worht the hassle!
I wonder why Kevin quoted me more than he did for you?
In any case, I will ask my dealer if they will match Crevier's price. Any other suggestions?

You have to consider you will be paying tax if you pickup local, so it's more that $5 savings.

You can only get the kit primed here in the US. Some vendors can order the kit painted but charge quite a bit. I believe that Rover Active can order the kits painted.

I remember seeing a thread with pictures of the M-Tech kit contents as it comes in the boxes - can't find it now - anyone knows were to look?

Another question - has anyone installed the kit themselves? I wonder what is involved in the installation, and whether it is straightforward take off old parts/put on new parts, or its more involved than that?
I'm a very capable in DIY and completed many similar projects, have a nicely equipped garage and lots of tools. Does the kit comes with instruction on how to put it together?
thanks for all your replies.

RodyBMW did the M-Tech install himself. He can help you out.
