Well, I was thinking of a Euro M5 when I was talking about the M-Tech kit, but you are correct, that if you put on the M-Tech kit on the US car you would need to remove the Al bumper and it would look different than the front so you would have to do a front Euro bumper conversion and M-Tech conversion. Lots of work, but is about 50lbs of weight savings. Working on the rest of the pictures hopefully have them soon.

Rob:

Would it be compatible with the rear US bumper though? As far as I know, you would have to remove the entire Al bumper. In that case, it would look aesthetically mismatched with the front.

BTW, I am eagerly awaiting your second installment of 3500 CS pictures.

You could have a car that has an M-Tech body kit, but only the Euro cars had this as an option. If you need one of those, you can get one off of an M535i or a new one from Maxamillian. Other than that, they are all aftermarket.
