Will the M5 front bumper grill fit on the Mtech front bumper purchased from umnitza? The dealer is asking 76 bucks. Any insights will help (I mean that in the nicest New York City attitude possible) thanks.

Which grill are you talking about? Kidney grills? lower mouth grill?
If the kidney, Yes it can fit, They fit for all model E60's.
For the Lower mouth portion, they will not fit. They are different.

I don't know about Umnitza, but the Trinity bumper comes with the lower grilles. Doesn't the Umnitza one come complete? Either way, the OEM M5 lower grilles are nearly identical to the Trinity ones so not much point of changing even if they did fit (which they won't)

Yes, you should have gotten it from Umnitza. Give them a call and tell them what's up. Make sure you are diligent as you might have some slowness on Umnitza's part.

I am frustrated with this whole thing. Called umnitza, back and forth e-mails since saturday. Paid fedex 2 day shipping which was additional 25 bucks was suppose to be sent out yesterday but hasnt even been shipped out, and now they want pictures of the bumper as if I am making this whole thing up.
