I plan on doing a quad exhaust..I just ordered the full Mkit with the group buy with tony (Quad_M) and I have a choice of the mtech bumper or the M5 bumper. I initially wanted the M5 bumper, but have read a couple of threads here that when installed, the stock exhaust will 'touch' the M5 bumper and that it could 'burn' the bumper. I then thought about getting the Mtech bumper, get a quad diffuser (liking the Rieger), and planning on getting the Remus quad 76mm round tips. I'm kind of confused....on which to get...Any suggestions guys? What do people here prefer? The exhaust I plan on getting in either bumper case is the remus one. Any input would be appreciated...so I can let Tony know. THANKS AGAIN!!

I have a 07 530i...I6. It's the drive from my home to the muffler shop is what I'm worried about as far as the stock exhaust touching the bumper.

M5 bumper, and maybe for the mean time you can find something to put between the muffler and the bumper so you can make it to the muffler shop.
