Bad road package is slightly raised suspension and some extra protection to the under body. Not much of a differnece...so no difference to the handling at all.
The suspension isn't much softer, thanks to the run flats ! The E class performs far better on that aspect over Mumbai roads.

@ Suchet- Where are you sourcing this kit from and for how much?Let me know i might be interested so we can work out a package deal.
Btw, I dont think you can get aftermarket kits insured.

Does the rear CF diffuser fix on to the regular LCI bumper?

I am sourcing my kit from quad_m.. I will PM you the cost. I have already paid him so I don't know if a package deal would work espically since my kit will be be ready for shipping end of April...we can try though. I am into exports so I deal with a lot of insurance agents so my guys are going to insure what ever I want.. hehehe..

OWM CF bumpers only fix on M tec rear bumper... so thats why I am getting M5 Front and M-Tec Rear.

wont the M5 front have some fitments issue with stock fenders? I think there is a small gap but I guess a good body shop will do the trick...and we know we have many in this part of the world. Quad_m is a great guy I am getting my wheels from him....
