What I'm maybe after, here's the criteria:
M5 replica front bumper for non-M E60, pre-LCI, with PDC (24mm), does have provisions for foglights, fits well, and is made of high quality material (TPO, PPO, ABS...no fiberglass)
does it exist? May have to replace front bumper due to unfortunate contact with concrete parking block...parking block won. Have looked across the internet today, haven't found much.
thanks, cheers.

We sell a lot of these and install a lot of them locally, other than running into stuff, they operate perfectly well and we have a youtube video that shows how to install:

We install at least 10 a month of this onto local cars. So the only way they won't be happy with it is if the installation is improperly performed.
Thanks Mr. Hornedfrog - E60 M5 Bumper - What Umnitza customers are saying

The factory M Technic bumper I have on the car now has an opening on either side of the lower grille for brake ducts...does the M5Tech have provisions for using the factory brake ducts?
can you post a picture of the backside of the M5Tech bumper showing the PDC sensor mounting clips? I want the PDC sensors to be able to clip in to the bumper like they do on the factory bumper, I don't want to end up with a bumper that I'm having to glue sensors on to, thats a big no-no in my book.
I have a pre-LCI car with the bigger 24mm PDC sensors. does the M5Tech bumper have PDC openings big enough for pre-LCI cars?
Thanks.

1) on the video, you can see all the parts of the back of the bumper. it's a completely open area, so anything in terms of ducts that you want to use can be attached to the back without too much effort, but I don't think the factory ducts fit directly onto it. You'd actually need M5 ducts to do that.
2) The sensors are easy, all our bumpers are no PDC, so you basically a) pre-drill it prior to painting or b) we pre-drill it prior to painting.
3) You reuse your sensor bracket holders and reattach them to the bumper, we do this regularly and even have a video showing how to remove them. Installation is as simple as glueing them to the back where the bumper is marked for PDC>
