m5 or m3 front bumper?

Trying to decide on a front bumper and side skirt set, opinions? I really like the flow of m5 style and it adds an aggresive but smooth look; m3 is straight aggresive

M5



M3

Make sure you buy the M3 bumper that includes all the propper grills and fog lights, otherwise it'll be difficult and expensive finding those pieces.

i would have said M5 one looked good but it has a molded lip into it which is not to everyone's taste. I think they should have produced one wihtout the lip and let the 3 people that like it with the lip just custom fit something... IMHO.

m3, not even a question. The m5 bumper suits the curvy lines of the 5, the m3 suits the edgy lines of the 3

M5 bumper man, if I have to pick.

M3 looks SOOOOO WEIRD with the fog lights and it starts getting as boring as them LM replicas (no offense ).
