Factory ABS: YES! (I think the price is too close to settle for fiberglass reproductions). If you are talking about a group buy at a discount, let me know how much for the rear w/ the extended wheel arches.... (or maybe someone here only wants the front spoiler, and I could take the rear apron and the F/Fs)

The OEM material is a really nice fitting and nice finished injection moulded polymer plastic (probably either ABS, PP or PE).
The fiberglass usually doesn't look just right (wavy finish), doesn't fit just right, and will crack from any flexing or impacts. Just a completely inferior material for front and rear bupmers. I wouldn't put fiberglass bumpers on my X5 if they were free... and that is coming from past experiences of myself and numerous friends. I've never really seen someone fully satisfied with a fiberglass bumper come to think of it.
