Yikes...For four grand I'd probably just pick up some ACS front and sides and call it a day, with a BUNCH of money leftover for more important stuff.

Pricing has continued to go up on these, Tischer best offering for the kit is currently 1350.00 plus shipping (175.00 flatrate within US since they have to ship freight class due to the size). Our vehicle would also require the following additional parts due to the production date late 2007 - 2010 (LCI models):

I had a very similar quote from my local BMW dealer. One thing they were not too certain was whether body kit comes painted or not... I assume it is just primed, so another $1200 or so to get it painted.
As someone had suggested, I went with aftermarket route (only got front bumper, ~$1000 installed).

There really shouldn't be a need to buy a new absorber. You only have to trim a small amount out of the exisiting absorber to get the front cover to fit. I suppose you could just buy one for the 550i, but it's an unnecessary expense.

For front bumper, front lip, new fogs, side skirts, and evgerything painted and shipping.. I paid 1295.00 through Umnitza. Buying OEM is not always the answer unless money is no object....Which me be the case for many of you considering we're in a BMW forum. lol
