you're the 2nd person to have noticed that.You know what, to be honest I'm not sure if it's lowered. When I purchased it I know for a fact it has the sport package, but it looks a bit lower than the normal sport suspension. If I had to guess, I'd say Eibach Pro-kit. Salaki (from Dallas) measure his front with H&R Sport, and it was very-very close to mine.

My Ride: White 2004 545i sport
My car sits very low just like your car does... I measured my 545 with sport suspension and it was .5" lower on the left and like .75" lower on the right compared to my buddy's 530i with sport suspension.

Essentially, Yes. Except, now the Umnitza bumper looks like the M5 bumper with provision for fogs.
Outside of that, you can join all of us while we wait patiently for our Umnitza bumpers to arrive to discover exactly what it looks like and how it fits.

I believe Umnitza offers both M-tech and M5 fronts, both looks with fogs. Member tex_phil has the M-tech version.

Most of us have ordered the M-Tech front bumper, but hope to also get the M5 style as we all agree it looks much more aggressive!
You are correct, when tex_phil ordered with Umnitza, he was sent the actual M-Tech replica - not M5.

alright, thanks for the reply guys. i ll wait and see how others' turn out before i pull the trigger.
Oh btw, one more thing that is my concern, I know that Umnitza bumper is a great cost saving alternatives without sacrificing the looks, and i love it. However, if lets say i got into an accident, which i hope not, will the bumper work as well as the OEM in reducing the impact force?
