Go bumperless. The front chassis looks sweet on its own.

Please don't get m-tech or M5. Maybe locally you'll be the only e60 like that, but on this forum there are probably more m-tech and m5 fronts than stock!
I went with the Hamann rep in CF myself, and am really happy with it. The only thing about it is that it will be quite low of the ground on a RWD car. Mine's an Xi, so it is fine though. Anyway, here's my alpine white girl:

You never know if Brett has some pitbull trademark/copyright lawyer ready to defend her use of the name "Alpine White Girl" against all infringers.
ok about getting a lip....since my bumper has some chips here and there i would want a full replacement instead of a lip. I also want to get rid of my front plate. this is why i want a new front bumper. rear bumper also has a tiny little scratch in it and i know its there so it pisses me off. I wish someone would just rear end me, pushing me into the car in front of me and bam!!! never front and rear bumpers for free
