Hi guys, im new here. I have 2013 528I non Mtech package. Im really interested in putting non OEM Mtech body kit on my car. However, I keep getting a mixed information and I am so confused.

Ok so I heard that for the front bumper, assuming im not buying the Mtech air duct (since it requires some trimming) and just use my current one, that mean the Mtech bumper would "partially" block the brake and oil cooler duct. Would that be ok thou? Anyone has experience on this? My self, I thought it should be ok since it's just "partially" block. What you guys think?

Regarding the rear non OEM Mtech bumper, is there any issue that I should aware of?

By the way I'm planning to get my kit from perpetualonlineracing.

Please help. Thank you so much

coming from a person who took an e60 535i and converted it into an M sport with the 550 wheels, don't waste your money. I highly regret doing it as I sold my car shortly after.

personally, wait until you have little negative equity in your vehicle and purchase a used 2012 Msport 535i or 550i. What year is yours?

Mine is 2013. What you mean by don't waste money. Dang it...I just paid for the front non oem msport front bumper yesterday. It's painting right now and install in a week. What issue you had that make you say so bro?

I was a bit rush when buying my car due to an accident on my lexus (not my fault). Was going for 2014 or 2013 msport. Found both deals with good price but the momemt I was gonna come in to sign paper, someone else bought it. Happened on both deal, so I settle with the 528I with premium and tech package

I think if BMW thought the oil cooler and brakes could do with less airflow, they would have done it themselves as al those holes in the front of the car negatively affect fuel economy.

I think you should follow the other post here. Enjoy your car, "as is" and when you have the money trade to a car with more performance and better looks. I think your car looks fine.
