You know people were modding cars with fiberglass kits before plastic. Of course plastic is preferred by everyone, but it's not the be all, end all of enhancements. |

I don't know why the majority are saying M-Tech... The Duke looks so much better with the rest of the car... and actually looks a lot more similar to the front end of the new M3. The M-Tech has some sharp corners or edges that just don't match up with the styling of the headlight surrounds and the kidney grille.

ahhahah....dude there is no way there is 1000 people in the US with the Mtech bumper on the e92. I would doubt you could find 30 people in the entire US with the Mtech front on their coupe.

M-Tech!!!!
You can't go wrong with something designed inhouse by BMW professionals using state of the art CAD/CAM equipment, with brake and cooler ducts properly engineered, tested in wind tunnel, manufactured using high precision injection moulding technique utilizing dies each size of a Mini.

If you're going for that factory look (from what I see you are), then go for the Mtech, as it was made for the car, hence looks great!

Go with the M front for sure!!!
Curious to know if it is possible to get the "M" kit from the dealer, or is it not worth the inflation they put on it? How much is the front going for from our sponsors, painted & all?? |

inflation...yes. The front alone from our vendors is about $1000. PLUS paint, bring the total to around $1350 or so. I would assume price will drop when it gets to the states, since the e90 mtech front is close to $400 I believe

Brandon I prefer the Mtech although yours still looks good.
If you are worried about Fiberglass cracking, that's a whole 'nother discussion but that is something it brings to the table. I wonder if Mtech wouldn't be as low as the Duke's kit. I was kinda thinking the same thing but I'm happy with my Aero lip (for now). If I were you I'd enjoy your front for awhile and when you really get sick/bored of your car, get something new then. That's what I'm going to do at least, maybe I'll get the Mtech when they have more add-ons (splitters and such) available.
