My Ride: 2005 530i, Premium/Sport Packages. Heated Seats, Sat Radio, Mystic Blue Metallic and Dakota Gray Leather interior. Active steering and headlights, M5 166 wheels
I am chomping at the bit to do a kit mod. I love the M5 look. The grills remind me of cars of old. I also think the front M kit bumper is more streamlined. The M5 kit of course needs the fenders. I am hoping to pull the trigger on either kit this week. Here are some pixs of my 530i from the weekend, any suggestions, opinions etc are welcome. I also saw some kits made out of ABS and some out of other materials. Also anyone familiar with a company called BodyKitz?

The mod bug bit you good, Dennis. 
You can't go wrong with either choice. You don't need the M5 fenders with the M5 front bumper. There are a few members here that fitted the M5 front bumper to the normal e60 fenders.

VERY NICE!!! Get the M-Tech kit... unless you really like the look of the M5 bumper. I think for the looks and price and ease of install the M-Tech is good.

Yeah, I agree - go with mtech: easy and cheaper to install the the M5 optic solution. The saved money could go towards M5 mirrors instead.
then:
- M5 trunk finisher and spoiler
- tint
- possibly M5 mirrors as mentioned above.
good luck with the mods.
