E63 all the way bro. Nothing cleaner than factory.

Although I do like the PD bumper as well. But the Factory E63 is just too clean.

I know the last time I checked Parts.com they had bumper covers for around $800... I know that doesn't help with the tidbits of parts/brackets etc here and there but it's a helluva lot cheaper than $1300 list.

I'd go for 2 all the way. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on it. How long is the turn around for the Prior Design Bumper?

Peter @ ACG said he had both styles in stock ready to go.

Would you take the older version(SLRish) or the newer version (E63ish) Prior Design Bumper?

I was going to get the older version just because the fog lights look so out of place in the newer one.

But that's just my opinion.

Thats what I thought too. There is such a big surface area for those small foglights.. it looks kinda out of place. The silver E55 looks badass and I bet it would be better in person.
