Mtechnik and standard bumper fog lights

M5 Tech has fog capable.
They have both capability - no fogs and with fogs.
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?

1) M5 Bumper - OE - no fogs
2) Mtech Bumper - OE - fog capable
3) M5Tech - Aftermarket - fog capable or non-capable
4) Mtech - Aftermarket - fog capable only
Each of these bumpers has PDC 24MM, 18mm, or no PDC.

For sure are replica bumpers for both an Mtech and M5 bumper. And yes, the M5 rep bumper does have an option of having fogs or not....

simon: the umnitza link you provided, yes the pic has fogs (that's meber nigxdoof's e60 btw).
here's a fs thread umnitza had regarding their "M5tech/M5 rep kits", the first pic is a pic of their M5 rep bumper without fogs.....most just want fogs so we rarely see no fog rep M5 bumpers, but there are a few out there....

Huh. Interesting.
Ahh this time I did not (for some reason) realize that there were Mtech exact reps. How funny. So I guess mine is M5Tech and not Mtech?

I'm still kind of confused...Will the standard pre-LCI bumper fogs fit on the MTECH REP bumper?
Will it fit the M5Tech bumper?
Will the OEM MTECH air ducts fit the MTECH Rep bumpers.
