Default New 1M Bumper for my 2008 550

So i was looking to get a new bumper. I currently have the mtech one but want a different look. I seen this 1M Bumper on ebay (BMW 5 Series 4DR E60 Wagon E61 04 10 Duraflex 1M Look Front Bumper | eBay)
Looks real good but pricy and its duraflex. I bought a duraflex kit a while ago for my old e60 and fitment was terrible. Was wondering if anyone has tried this 1M bumper and if its worth it. Thanks

It's not that difficult.

Get it! I have yet to see the ones mass produced by Duraflex. You'd be the first one.

Read this review before you buy it. Poor fitment.

I had purchased the duraflex 1M bumper and I had to sell it on eBay because...

1.) The company you will buy it from won't accept the return

2.) The bumper is very flimsy (Feels like it was made out of thin cardboard)

3.) The bumper was tearing apart from just handling it by picking it up

4.) The fitment is off since it is not made out of fiberglass or any other resin.

Hope that helps your decision making.

That's a shame. I was hoping the quality would be at least decent.
