I'll probably start hunting for an M-tech front end...but they're very common....at least on this forum. I don't see them on the streets in my area too much though. Hmmm

I bought them from Garry @ Newport BMW in Rhode Island and paid $34 ea. x 2, plus shipping.
(emailing him is best - g.romani@bmwofnewport.com). UPS Ground took 4 days to Calif.

That's looking great already
I'm personally a big fan of the Alpina B5. Seeing as you already have the large multi-spoke rims and the m-sport side skirts, all you would need to do is add the front and rear spoilers to get the Alpina look... and avoid going the m-sport route. Your car would then look something like this...

I like it... alot!!
Its more understated, but still very purposeful. IMHO this is a really good fit for Platinum Grey.
