[QUOTE="opposite_lock, post: 302177, member: 13698"] Of course nothing is as good as the original, but I must say the Duraflex comes close. I've just installed it and the gaps are fine. I know you can get the original M5 rear bumper for around 5K and the front a bit more, but the problem with original isn't just the price. There are fitting issues as the M5 fenders are wider (11mm each side, I think) than the normal E60. Since the front won't fit and you'll have to get either an FRP or Duraflex, I don't think it makes sense to get a replica front and original rear. But that's just me. Anyways, after looking and knocking (literally!) on both materials, I've concluded that Duraflex is much better than FRP. [/QUOTE]
