Personally, I don't like them... even with an M5 rear. The reason I have not installed a splitter on my E60 is because I think it disrupts the flow of the car with the stock rear bumper. The way my ride is setup right now, the lines are clean.
Looks great Ryan! I really like your darkened tail lights.

for the mtech kit - mtech rear, ebmcs03 (eric) has it on his silver gray 545 and blackonblackonblack (wendell) had it on his 545. both looked good.

i really want the M tech kit but i dont really like the rear bumper much the way it curves upward just seems weird on a sharp lined car, i prefer my stock rear bumper.

have any of you seen any pix of a e60 with the M tech bumper and skirts with the stock rear bumper? did it look ok?

i tried looking at a picture of the M tech front bumper compared to the M5 front bumper and i cant really see a huge difference other than its slightly wider to match up with the wider M5 fenders, am i missing anything here?
here is one w/m5 rear (shown w/optional M trunk finisher and M trunk spoiler)

Everything : the M5 front bumper gives to the car a better looking . It -seems- similar, but is different!

i was wrong... he has dual exhausts and rear apron over the stock rear bumper... but it looks nice the way he has it set up!....

Knightcom's set up looks SICK!
