Unfortunately it did not fit. =/ The Umnitza M5 bumper front portion seems to be a big longer in the fender portion of the bumper. (the part where its in front of the wheel).
The part I got is off by at least 3/4 inch to 1 inch. I think the M5 might be different size. I'm going to try to fit it on an M car tomorrow and see if it fits. If it does, that means the M5 front is different from the Umnitza M5 front.
Ugh.. that stinks. there goes $$$ down the drain. I probably can get it to fit but they'll have to re-work it / add some fiberglass piece to my Vorsteiner Rep Splitter.
I'll have to think about it. If i sell my splitter, i'll do it. I guess the hartge splitter probably wont fit either.

So this corner is where the Umnitza M5 front is too long.
I circled the section. Everywhere else fits fine.
The Vorsteiner Replica is shorter so it does go all the way to the end. Missing by an inch. =(
I guess I'll think about modding it so it can fit. Bah.. I'll probably go forward with it, since no one else can use it.
Like I mentioned, since that portion is longer, that means the side of the Hartge / hamann will be too short too if you have it for an M5.
I circled it on this pic. The Real M5 Hartge splitter will probably come short on the Umnitza M5 front.

If you can't find a splitter for now, leave it as is. IMHO, I think the M5 front looks aggressive

True, Maybe John from EuroRev can make a Rep Hartge for the Umnitza M5 front bumper

So i got the item yesterday but wasn't able to try it on until today.
The item looks like a perfect fit but I ran into a problem right away.
The Vorsteiner Replica splitter top portion (where it slides into the Foglights) is too deep. Due to the Umnitza M5 front having fogs, the space is shorter than a normal M5 since the M5 has the brake ducts.
I believe it can still fit but since the Vorsteiner Replica is fiberglass it needs to be shaved down. I'm going to stop by the shop after work and see if they can do it. I'll keep everyone posted. Darn FOG lights!
