Hey guys ... looking at photos of the two they look the same minus the fact that the M5 bumper is slightly wider and has brake ducts vs fog lights.

Are there any differences besides these two items? Also can the brake duct mesh replace the fog light on the M-Tech?

How about the extra moulding you see, on the M Tech bumper, near the fog light portion which is visible more from the side.

That line near the fog light -- I just HATE it

I also like how the front mesh on the M5 looke more aggressive when compared to the plain Mtech (The mouth of the bumper)

Yes thanks for the pics! Thats a huge help. I guess Im going to stick with the M5 Bumper. I looked at the M5 Style Bumpers but none of the aftermarket lips fit on those either.
