one doesnt have fogs, one has opening for quads.. it all depends what your willing to do to your car.. me personally i like the mtech.. id hate to give up fogs, i like them and think they add a certain sexyness to the headlights, but thats my 10cents.. as far as the m5 rear i like them on m's....

Doesn't Trinity sell and "M5Tech kit" that combines the look of the M5 front bumper with the fog light openings you get on the M Tech kit. Best of both worlds as the M5 bumper looks slightly more aggressive than the M Tech front bumper.

I had the same dilema 2 weeks ago and decided to go mtech (550) OEM. No regrets fits perfect. If you go with OEM m5, ya need fenders 10mm wider than stock. Go with trinity for M5 reps...

if you go OEM: m tech

if you go rep kit: m5 rep (m5 rep has fogs, unlike the OEM not to mention OEM M5 bumper fittement is not flush unless you get OEM M5 fenders to as well)

There seems to be more and more new BMW fans on these F10(1) sites
who don't know what the E60, F10 etc. codes means.
