My Ride: 2006 525i, Premium,Cold,Xenon Packages
Finally got my Mtech from quad_m. Had it installed by a BMW Tech.
It looks like a totally new car now
.. Love the look!! - Thanks to quad_m
Didn't want to drill holes on front, so had tech install the license plate on the grill instead - Thx to nigxdoof for this great idea!!
Didn't like Stock high-beams, so replaced it w/ Umnitza Xenon look ones, they look OK (better than stock) when DRLs turn on.
Only thing bugging me is the plastic things sticking out on the both sides of the front bumper? BMW Tech told me thats due to fender or something?? But I donot see others having this..

If I remember it correctly that plastic tab should be inside the bumper, along the edge of the fender there are bunch of notches and that plastic tab should clip into it and it'll hold the edge of the bumper.

Car looks great P! Awesome!
I just had my M-Tech installed last week and those tabs are tucked away. Tell your BMW dealer to go back to the class room and learn about our cars again...or maybe he should visit this site more often.

Where in the NY/NJ area did you guys get your M-Tech kits installed? I still have mine in the basement and I would like to get it installed.
Also, how much did oyu guys pay? I'm also wondering how much this will hurt my pocket.
Thanks,
Henry
