What kind of front bumper is this? I'm seeing so many kinds of stock E34 front bumpers i can't keep track of it anymore. Could someone sum them up for me with pictures?

That is a 540i lower valance with the brake ducts. Can't really see the rest of the bumper properly to see if its been attached to a standard bumper or been fitted like that at the factory. As fas as I know there was the Mtech (M5 and sport), and 540 bumbers and a couple of variations of the standard bumber although there could be regional variations.

This the early Mtech front bumper/valance.I beleive it is the same as that fitted to the 3.6 M5.I think the 3.8 m5 used the one above(not 100 percent sure on that.)

Thanks guys! And Mac, i just can't get enough of your car! It's so awesome! Even the orange lights. I don't usually like those but they just look so brilliant on yours.
