When i took mine in to have the headlight changed, i guess they moved the bumper to access the headlight and when i saw the car there were nice big gaps between the bumper and headlights as well as what i see in the pic. I could fit my finger in the gap!!.. i went back inside and told them and they told me it's normal.. well i obviously am not an idiot and demanded they fix it since it's not correct.. they told me they had to adjust the brackets and it looked like brand new when they were done..
Soo.. maybe the brackets aren't aligned correctly?

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.

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..
