That's absolutely correct. There are two sets of bumpers, one for the E90 and the other for the E91. The Diffuser, left and right CF front trims are exactly the same parts for either car.

Here in the U.S., we can buy only the entire body kit (front/rear bumpers, and side skirts), from what I understand. This doesn't make sense, because what if one part needs replacing?

The retail price of all parts is together is $1250. Just the same, I was surprised by the affordability of the kit, since it is OEM.

He bought the side skirts and rear bumper from someone who had purchased the entire kit, but wanted only the front bumper.

I'll admit the side skirts are not much different, and you'd have to compare the stock OEM against the M-Tech ones, then squint, to see the difference. I was a bit less excited about the appearance of the front M-Tech bumper sides, but I'm getting used to the look. I feel the front bumper (especially toward the bottom center) without the horizontal rocket trim makes the car look a little more aggressive. Yet there are so many good choices for front bumpers and spoilers. That's what makes modding fun--everyone can choose what they like and feel they have something that is unique.

I wanted just the front so I ordered the whole kit. Because the dealer priced out the parts for just the front and it came to almost 1200 dollars. They told me they could order just the front but it would take a couple of weeks, because it would come from Germany. They also said they could order just the rear bumper, and priced it out for me (so I knew how much it was worth, if I was going to sell it). It was around 900 dollars with the sides skirts, so the dealer should be able to order it for you.

Where in California are you? You can buy the M-Aero kit at your local dealership--25 were available in the U.S. when I had mine ordered. They retail for $1250; however, you still need to get it painted. As for getting just the front bumper, there are several people who had approached me for the SoCal Euro meet who had expressed interest in purchasing JUST the rear bumper. I could hook you up with them so you can split up the purchase to your liking.

As far as I know, the rear apron is the rear diffuser. I think you're referring to the rear bumper itself. The M-Tech kit replaces the stock bumper, and incorporates an additional diffuser. The hard plastic mounting brackets on the sides are also different with the M-Tech kit.

For the ACS rear bumper and diffuser, look at diesel007's recent pics he took at the SoCal Euro meet. He has that setup on his car and it looks hot.

I seriously doubt the ACS rear diffuser will fit an M-Tech bumper. In fact I'm 99.999% sure it won't. diesel007 has the ACS full body kit. You can ask him. The M-Tech diffuser comes with plastic wedge-type clips on the top, and holes at the bottom through which the 8 mm bolts screw into the bumper and rear assembly. Also notice how the M-Tech diffuser has an opening for the exhaust.

Hi climkt, I'm a PCP specializing in Medical Aesthetics/Laser Medicine.

That's interesting that ACS is doing that for the M bumper. I haven't seen one of those around, but it's nice to see more options for customizing. I want to research this for fun.
