My Ride: 2008 535xi -- took delivery January 24th, 2008 -- Space Gray w/black dakota leather interior and Bamboo Anthracite wood trim, Sport Package / Premium Package / Cold Weather Package / Logic7 / Bluetooth / IPOD / NAV / 18" Star Spoke 124s...BUT I could not resist the M Aero Kit, tinting the windows and adding front/rear blacked-out Roundels

Looking for opinions from those of you that installed the M-Tech Aero Kit...
A few weeks ago I received the original parts in the M-Tech boxes from my dealer. Should I hold on to them until I turn the car in (e.g. return the car to original state and sell the M-Aero kit) OR simply part with the original parts? If so, what is the going price for the original equipment?

Make a Mini e60 with the spare parts.

Sorry, had to do it... but anyway. Its hard to sell the original bumpers cause everyone's got it already. Your best bet is you can try to sell it to a body shop. Even if you get 50-100 bucks for it. its better than nothing.

If you have room to hold onto it, do it so when you sell the car or return it, you can sell the mtech bumper too.

Good luck and post pictures.
