MTech bumper fits nice, just need some adjusting to make it look right. However, I'm waiting for a M5 front bumper right now to replace the mtech.

Thanks for the info, I guess that I will first try to cut my fenders, if I don't like it, I will buy the OEM M5 fenders.
PS: The M5 front bumper would be nice especially with a lip.

Just out of curiousity can the M5 diff be fitted to achieve the same purpose of the quaife lsd?

Also why did you fit M5 front fenders (is it just for cosmetic reasons with the side grilles?)?

Sorry I don't know about the M5 diff.

M5 fenders are wider than standard fenders and I wanted a wider stance .

I'm pretty sure that BMW measures speed at the wheel (rotation) and not the differential (rotation) but don't quote me on that. I would like to get an expert to confirm.
