there have been plenty of threads of the kind

mtech looks just like mtech

m5tech looks like the m5 kit

the sides are the same, the rears are dependent if you want the mtech rear (single exahust/diffuser) or m5 (dual exhaust/no diffuser)

I am in the process of getting the OEM BMW Aerodynamic Kit. I will post the before and after pictures within this month ( with exact distance, angles, background, scenery and color).

Below are some of the few comments that I have read and by comparison, I am compelled to stick with OEM.


"Look at this thread with the dark grey BMW -- It has the OEM Mtech front bumper (Notice the extra line(carving) near the fog lights)

https://5series.net/forums/topic/106...1#entry1284306



Check out the Trinity M5 replica bumper that I have here (My Car) -- Scroll all the way down
https://5series.net/forums/topic/107.../page__st__120

Do you see how neat it is -- Gives you that Mean look unlike the Mtech - Also notice the shape of the bottom grill"

Again, thank you Racerboss and everyone for your help!

MTech rep looks like the MTech kit. M5Tech is a rep of the actual M5 kit but it has foglights. The dimensions are not exact to the M5 kit though cause you can't fit a splitter for an M5 on the M5Tech.

I think I'm going to get the m5tech full kit with dual rear. It has a Beefier stance and looks more aggressive. Thanks for all the advise and help.
