I have been searching websites and forums since I got my 535 to find out which front lip is for me, and it's down to two. Opinion's and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hamann or AC Schnitzer

I would go with AC Schnitzer. Just my humble opinion.

ACS only looks good on dark colored cars.

I would go with the Hamann, since you have an Alpine White 5er.

Here are some pics an AW Hamann front splitter(post #2).

I considered the ACS, but decided on the Hamann, even with a Jet Black car. I just like the lines of the Hamann, over the ACS. Plus, I like how it comes across the whole front, from one end to the other. Just my 2 cents...

My vote would be ACS with the caveat that the MTech fronts are already low and very susceptible to being damaged by curbs, steep driveways etc. Making the front lower will increase the possibility of damage ( especially if the wife or G/F drives the car ! ) all IMHO
Good Luck
