that is the factory m5 kit, so first are you panning to do a quad exhaust? because your stock wont fit anymore. Also, the M5 does not come with fog lights so you would lose that, and you would also have to buy the m5 fenders to get the m5 bumper to line up. its alot of things to consider. I think it would be easier to buy the m-tech kit and Quad_m will give you a good price and he can have it painted for you

Thnxx... but how much would a hamman front cost vs. m5 front or m-tech front? And in your opinion which one do you think would look better?

M5 kit for sure, much more aggressive curves and cuts wind at speeds in excess of 145mph, (Stability)
Good luck on which ever ou choose!
