Finally purchase this M-tech bumper off ebay, BMW dealer wanted over $1000 for parts alone for the M5 front bumper. Ebay M-tech bumper + paint and Install cost me $$800. See pic

Might be stating the obvious here, but the pics with the angel eyes, you have one with the new and one with the old, right? The white ones on the car's left and the old yellows on the car's right? I thought my eyes were messing with me, but it seems like that's the case. Either way, looks good. How much was the bumper? It's crazy the install and painting was almost twice the cost of a bumper I've seen for $350 or so. I was hoping to save up for a bumper, but $800 really poops on that idea.

If you want it contact Trinity - I got my bumper and sides from them painted and installed for about $1k. Go with a trusted vendor
