No, they don't fit the OEM mtech bumper

I don't know about replica mtech bumpers though...

I fit my Pre-LCI fog lights on my Mtechnik (Trinity Autosports) bumper just fine

I believe your bumper is the M5 rep not M-tech.

The M5 reps have no fog lights. So the above can't be true?

I used an OEM Mtech LCI front bumper and I used my Pre-LCI lights, however, I used the LCI inserts.

They actually do, I had the Umnitza M5 reps and they had fogs. Lets just say when i had the OEM M-tech bumper i couldn't use the Pre LCI bumper fogs on the M-tech.

Maybe there's some confusion going on. Besides OEM, after market options are M5 replica (which looks same as OEM M5), Mtech reps (which is a combination of M5 plus Mtech look), and the other ones (Lumma, Reiger, etc). Which means that your Umnitza M5 rep is actually Mtec rep. I presume this is what you had: http://umnitza.com/umnitza-5series-t...nt-p-1244.html

The confusion probably is due to Umnitza's redundant usage of "5" in the product description. Should just be Mtech and not M5 Tech.

Can someone confirm or reject this?

To me that "M5 tech" looks exactly like OEM M5 bumper (+ the fog lights)...
