m5 vs mtech
Hello. Was thinking of upgrading to either m5 style or mtech style kit
2010 e60
Can someone tell me the difference with the front bumper.. Every time I think I see the difference I see a different picture on google to confuse me again.

Go with the M5 replica looks more aggressive... My car came with the mtech wish I had the M5 front. Just my 2 cents

Thanks Klr4life.. I think you just solved my problem.. I def want fogs.. So I am left with mTech for my option. cool
what about side skirts. I don't see a great deal of difference compared to my regular ones already on my car. do they make car look lower or something?

the m5/mtech sideskirts are more aggressive and flare outwards. definitely look better than stock which have a very weak profile.

There are actually THREE common and readily available. All three are available in aftermarket which will save you a descent amount of money and look very nice. OEM only in # 1 & 3 and will cost you a bit more. There are others out there as well but you have to search for them and IMO I think they are a bit over priced.
1 - M5 - No fogs
2 - M5Tech - same as M5 but has fogs
3 - MTech - a little different and has fogs
