M-tech Front Bumper Installed!!!

I've joined the m tech front bumper club. Got the bumper in on friday got it painted Monday and installed today. Fitment is spot on. I can notice that the ducts are partially blocked so maybe in the future I may get the m tech ducts but i'm in no rush.

I'm getting a painted bumper reflector to replace the amber one. As for my rims I don't think they look bad maybe the picture makes it look bad, check out the video.

also depends on your budget.

Mine is in the shop now getting that bumper and m3 skirts, yours fits nice...but I can say (not trying to flame you) ... that paint doesn't look like a match to me. I can clearly see a difference. I'd get them to do a respray .

Looks great...I am considering doing the exact same thing. I have a 2007 (pre-LCI) E93, and would really like a sportier bumper. Someone scraped paint off my current bumper, so I would need to spend some money anyway. One question I have is: How much lower, if any, does the new bumper sit relative to the ground? The reason I ask is that I have a steep driveway, and the current bumper clears it, but not by much. If the M-Tech bumper is more than 1/2 inch lower, then I might be in trouble.. Any help is appreciated.
