Hello everyone...I'm new here. Been checking out your site for awhile now and everyone here is great. I'm coming here from IS300.net. I sold the IS300 and picked up a 2001 525i with the sport package. Anyhow, I want to convert to the M5 front bumper. It seems everyone talks about the M-Tech's but is there any other out there? And where can I go to get them? And last thing....how much should I expect to pay for one? Thank You.

I also noticed that alot of the aftermarkets one that I found are made of fiberglass. Whats the quality of these fiberglass bumpers. Ones who have them....what are your opinions? I prefer poly but I don't want to pay the dealer prices.

NEVER EVER.... NEVER EVER.... NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER get fiberglass bumper!!! one little scrap or bump and it's game over. sure it's easy to fix (depending how bad it is) but the amount of $$$ you spend on constant repairs (FB work and paint and pry to god that the paint matches), you could have just gotten a real PU one.

PU, it's the only way to go if you want it to fit and last.

I can get you one for about $650.00 plus shipping, OE parts. This includes the hardware also.
