I messed up my front bumper trying to remove the StonGard, and now need to have it painted. However, I am using this "opportunity" to look into an aftermarket piece. Any ideas? How about the Hamann piece?

Cheers.

D,

the hamman one looks WAY overdone...i like the ACS one although Gpower may offer a front one for the M5. I dont know...i know that they offer a rear fascia

Go ACS all the way....High quality, understated looks yet different than all the others....Hamann is neat if you are going completey Hamman, but it is very aggressive...Like a basking shark with mouth open. However, you could go stock bumper, with the Hamman two piece flippers on either edge for a nice look.

Honestly, I prefer the stock M5 bumper, they look the best IMHO.

I didn't buy a M5 so I end up with this bumper:


As for Hamman, they have some crazy ones such as this (BMW NIGHTMARE Target #51):



maybe it's just me

Thanks everyone for the entertaining feedback. Some of those photos are hillarious. I also do not like the Hamann bumper, but there just isn't much out-there! ACS doesn't offer anything (just inserts for the stock bumper), and G-Power offers something not bad, but I am not sure I like it more than stock. It looks like I will just stick with stock, but it would be nice to see some good looking aftermarket items.

Cheers.

i always thought that the ACS one was a brand spanking new front bumper? If not....go with Gpower, i think it looks good but not crazy like hamman

Bigtime007

why not fabricate your own out of say....silver carbon fiber?
