You can go OEM or aftermarket. OEM will provide better quality and fitment. Umnitza and TrinityAutosport are two venders on the forum that carry the aftermarket bumpers. You should know that the spacing of the openings on the aftermarket bumper are different than the OEM bumper (on at least the M5 replica vs OEM M5 bumper). You'll also be looking at limited selection of diffusers if you decide not to go with an OEM bumper. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks alot for your help west. Initially I wanted to go OEM, but the OEM bumper looks like it'll be quite costly. When you say that the aftermarket bumper spacing of the openings are different, are you talking about the PDC? Or where the bumper attaches to the body? Would it be too much of a problem of a shop to put on? I have to get it painted either way. I've already looked into the diffusers, and my favorite is the mtech quad one, but i can only find it in carbon fiber, which means i'll still need it painted, and it'll run me around the same price as getting the OEM bumper.

I have a quad diffuser for the MTech if you are interested in it let me know. I bought it and just before I received it I came across a Hamann quad diff. So I have two now. Obviously the Hamann is installed. This diff fits nice to the aftermarket MTech but I don't know about figment to the oem.

I believe west means that the quad opening are not like oem. If you go m5 rep you will need to install bumper then have exhaust ran. the other problem as he stated, is that aftermarket bolt on parts do not fit well to rep bumpers unless you are buying them from where you got the bumper. If you buy something from eBay for an example chances are that it will not fit.

How much are you looking to get for it shipped to 11208? I have the OEM mtech, hopefully it should not be too much of a difference.

Oh, I see what you mean. Well that shouldn't be a problem, that's how I planned on doing it anyway since i want to go with the biggest tips I can. Also, if I go with an aftermarket m5, then I most likely will not need anything else attached to it.
