I have a stock E60 545. My biggest aesthetic complaint is the front bumper. What is the main difference between the Mtech and M5 front bumper? I want to keep the PDC and fogs. I would love to purchase pre-painted. I can do without the sideskirts and rear for now. Would love to support Trinity and/or other E60 members, but Umnitza seems more competitive on price. What is the difference?

 

Go with the M5 rep bumper from Trinity... The fitment is excellent and looks more agressive than the Mtech... IMHO

 

Couldn't agree more!

 

Keep in mind that you lose the brake ducts with the M5 rep bumper.
There's no way to attach them to the bumper. Aside from that it looks great.

 

Frank, what bumper do you have? What kind of splitters? I like your set up. Thanks for the info btw. What color are your wheels? That is my dream set up! Is that charcoal, gunmetal? Can I just have your car?

 

Thanks Roger. I have the M-tech bumper. I really like the look of the M5 front,
but I couldn't bear losing the brake cooling ducts. After all they're there for a reason.

Since I've taken my sig pic, I've removed the front Hartge style splitter and sold it
to another member. My wheels are matte black. But FANTASTIC5 has a set of new
gunmetal wheels for sale at a killer price.

Here are some more pics of my car with the M-tech, splitter and wheels,

Thanks for the info Frank. That splitter looked nice, but since the misses drives my car more than me, that's a no no. Splitter + misses = $$$ The wheels look great, but Fantastic's 11in rear requires too much rubber committment for me . They look GREAT though.

 

I agree on the splitter, I missed my regular M-tech front.
Going to throw on the side skirts and rear bumper and
be done with her

Good luck with your decision

Thanks Frank. Where are the brake ducts? OK, I know WHERE they are, but I am not sure how to identify the REAL ones.
