Quick question, how do I know if my car has PDC or not? (Just bought my car recently too). It's a 2004 545i. And another question, why is the M-tech so much more expensive than the other aftermarket like the Umnitza's M5Tech front bumper? Is it simply cuz it's OEM or the quality is different also? Thanks!

PDC or "Park Distance Control" is just a parking assist. They are those small holes in the front of the bumper to assist with parking. My car has a display that pops up as this annoying beep goes off. I've seen some members that bought a PDC bumper with no PDC on the car, but just got the holes filled in.
OEM is in general more expensive. I'm not sure of the material but I've heared it's better quality and may hold paint better. I can't confirm. But with OEM you know there should be no fitment issues. This was made by BMW, not an aftermarket company. A lot of members go OEM only. That's why I bought it.
But the price I have this at is like getting an aftermarket one

I don't think your fogs will work. You need some like these.
Umnitza, Trinity Auto Sport and others on here sell them. And of course Ebay.
