5 Series Body Kits?

Hello bimmerheads it's been a while since I posted anything here. I'm looking for an aero kit to start my modding craze of my F10.

I did some searching and so far there is:

M-Sport and replicas
WALD
Aero Function
AC Schnitzer
Hamann

and just recently this:



I don't know whether i should go with the kerscher up there (without the fins)

It looks like a more aggressive M-sport bumper without the carbon fins and I like that.

or the Aero Function:




It reminds me of my old E92 OEM aero kit which I really liked.

Any opinions or just play it safe and get the M Sport like everyone else? I like the M sport but I'm also trying to see what else is out there.

I would go with Aero Function or OEM mSport Conversion. All the other kits design are too busy for an F10.

Here's where you get your OEM mSport Conversion.

I'm undecided on the ACS setup. I really like the Hamann rear diffuser. I'm undecided on the front. Arkym and 3D Design make aero kits as well.

The kerscher option, car looks far sportier.

That's what I'm leaning towards too especially on a Titanium Silver.

That ACS setup looks good too but it looks like another mod on top of the M Sport. I'm going to move on to the interior once I get the exterior down. Hmmm rear diffusers now...

I spoke to the kerscher folks and I would need to buy their fog lights that they make specifically for this kit. If I wanted the fins they also sell a bypass for the OEM fog lights this way I wouldn't get any warnings saying my fog lights have a fault.
