Default M5 Tech Body Kit 2008 535xi

New Member Needs Your Support

I have decided to purchase an aftermarket M5 or MTech Body Kit for my 2008 535xi to freshen up the car aesthetically from eight years of typical New England road wear.

I have been searching forums on these kits and have narrowed it down to two vendors below.

My perception of these two vendor's kits is that the product is identical and the vendor with the best all inclusive deal will win.

Any experience with the Ebay Seller Advanation vs Umnitza?

Please advise

Thank You in advance for your consideration as I make this decision.

Advanation is Advan-Emotion (Auto Accessories, Car Parts - Advan Emotion Inc). They are a bunch of chinese guys getting their stuff from China (not saying that's a bad thing). Not sure what's the quality of their stuff. I remember in the past they did look for cars to test fit the stuff they were selling (giving away free to testers).I do know that when they started their business, they were in a 8,000 sq ft building. Seems they are doing well now and have moved to a larger facility.

As for Umnitza, I don't know where they get there stuff from. Pretty sure someone from that company will chime in soon though.

Advan's parts are all replica China materials. they are hit and miss on the fitment. They are essentially replicas of the replicas.

If you have time, please give us a call, there are some things we can show you about our product.

I'd love to see the finished product, I'm in Boston too!

I've considered the mtech front alone after someone scraped my front bumper.. Remember, all these parts you also need painted.

This maybe true.

that is absolutely incorrect. having purchased both Chinese bumpers and Taiwan bumpers, they are nothing alike other than general look and design.
Chinese bumpers always have fit issues, always.
