Anyone bought anything from http://www.revozport.com/e60.htm ?

Im looking at the front and rear lip for M5 but it says M5 and Mtech. I wonder if they know what there doing of if its potential for figment error
They're a sponsor on M5board but there have been quite a few complaints about their products and service. There was a guy who just bought a splitter and when it arrived, all the screws and holes were rusted. Revozport said it was oxidation.

Anyway, I asked them a long time ago about fitment for the M Tech and they didn't even know that the M5 and M Tech bumpers are different and they said it's only for M5. I'm surprised they still say it's for M Tech as well....unless they recently made one specifically for M Tech.

My spelling was horrible in my last post, geez I wasnt even wasted

So ECF, alot of people did buy from these guys before and had no fitment problems on M5s? 250 bucks for a splitter isnt bad at all, I wonder if theres anything else out there as cheap

I don't know about fitment problems and my memory is vague on the details of other posts I've seen where people complained so to be fair, no one should make a judgement based on my post. $250 is an awesome price though. There's another company called MyProjectCars.com that make similar products as Revozport but their prices are a bit higher.

How much lower is the front bumper with the Hartge Splitter? It looks pretty nice on the Mtech kit?


I would like to know pricing too.. =D

What about ground clearance? Its not like the Hamann lip right? does it add a lot more to the front bumper in regards to hitting random crap on the floor?


I like the look of the hartge a lot and would consider it, but in NYC.. I can say bye bye to it once I install it, unless I get a replica one, and take it off on regular days, and slap it back on for special days....



So, back to the question, can anyone get a REPLICA for the Mtech front????

The ground clearance is similar to the Hamann lip except you'll have a wee bit more clearance in the middle area where the Hartge splitter has an indentation. You'll have to take extra care in maneuvering over bumps, dips and driveways.

Can I have your hartge lip tony? =)


Hmm... if its the same clearance, seems like getting that in NYC would be a bad idea. I wonder how Calton's hamann lip is going? Does anyone in NYC even have the add on lip? Its probably not practical here.
