Where to source a OEM mtech kit
Just checked a few of the old post and it appears that the kits for 08 is now discontinued.
Anyone else have a vendor for a OEM kit?

AFAIK oem lci and pre lci m tech kits are out of production now, so whatever is in supply is what's left. Even if you try and source through an aftermarket vendor they would have to get it from a BMW dealer....try calling around to various dealers...
have you checked with: BMWPartsPros (try contacting them directly as they don't list many e60 parts on their actual webpage) or BMW Parts and Accessories at GetBMWparts.com

pre-LCI kits are definitely still available, but for how much longer is anyones guess. I just bought one two weeks ago.

I wouldn't bank on BMW selling the parts as a kit for too much longer though.
OP good luck with your search. I hate to say it, but I think you might be out of luck.

Not true. I was just at my dealer today (three times, don't ask) and had them run the part number out of curiosity. Still available for order from the motherland, pre-LCI only. It's also listed on BMWUSA.com as an available accessory.

yea, but given BMWs track record with accessories it won't surprise me one bit to see the kit part number go NLA any time now. You have to get it while the getting is good, because piecing it together is an expensive proposition. Tischer BMW has them for $1350 right now, which is an absolute steal of a price. I can confirm that it does come with literally everything you need, including every last bit of hardware.

Another dealership to check with is BMW of Newport in Rhode Island. Ask for Gary Romani in the parts department. He used to offer special pricing to forum members here as well.
