you're looking around 2 racks give or take-- plus shipping. Several factors will alter the price but not much.

1M Bumper + E60 bumper + labor + center mesh + brake ducts + Shipping

You could ship them your bumper but at the price they can get it for you're better off selling your existing one and just letting them buy one on their own to save time.

.. then there's the splitter which can run you from 300 and upwards to another grand.

And you best be getting a clear bra on if you're gunna spend this much on a front bumper. I'm waiting for my paint to cure and then I'm gunna be getting a good detail and clear bra application. Here's an updated photo of the bumper after I applied a couple of cans of clear plastidip yesterday afternoon. (had to drive about 100 freeway miles)

They make it in clear. I should have bought the glossifier one but I didnt even think about it. I wonder what it would have looked like

Incredible, the car looks mean...

Definitely something I am taking note of and when possible/maybe on my next car will look into doing this.

Love the unique look and how different from the regular MTech Kit it is. That being said installing my M-Kit next week and very excited.

Hey JR try the new 3m paint defender spray, 3M Paint Defender Spray Film - AutoZone.com. One of the guys in a local car club rec'd it and uses it since he tracks his M3. I'm probably going to do it on my side mirrors since my 3M clear bra is ripping. Something about high rates of speed and the crap left on 880 from road construction is cutting my clear bra up.

Btw fitment looks good.

Agree with BossCat. had I know about this i woulda given it a shot. I need to research it a bit more, but do they offer more materials than just enough to do the hood? The job for me w/ the plastidip took rough.y 3 cans for the front bumper and the hood.

Take pics when you finish yours. Def. Interested in seeing this.

From the Autozone website's review, it's not really favorable at all :/
