I was also planning to put on the m5 front end on my 545i. I was frustrated with my hamann add-on for my stock bumper. It was too flimsy. So I was going to put the m5 front cuz it had a better and strong hamann add-on. But now Hamann just made the add-on on the m-tech front. I think it looks just as good as the m5 w/ add-on. But.......I know the m5 front looks better if it didnt have add-ons. But with add-on lip....M-tech actually looks better since it has fog-lights.

Also, another question, any problems removing the fog lights? Do any warning lights appear after removing them?
Thanks
Thanks
yes removing the fog lights creates a error on the OBC.....but can easily be bypassed using load resistors.

Here are the latest images.... It's a noticeable improvement

Only thing now is the PDC/Air Duct issue and I'm done
