There seem to be a few things not right.
1. Gap between lights and bumper
2. L and R where fender meets the bumper there seems to be gap, dont sit flush. According to the body shop thats how it fits! Any one?? Sorry dont got pix atm well post some soon

if it's anything like the e60's M5 bumper conversions, there is a gap between side fender and front bumper, due to the wider fenders on ///M models.
The gap between the hood and front bumper, you might be able to treat that the same as the e60 m tech gap fix as well...

thanks Gene! The bodyshop tech said that the "tabs" are broken one the one side hence the poor fitment. But its not like the other side fits perfect either. I wonder if the m6 has wider fenders?

Wtf thats so weird, he also mention that the m6 brace is different than the 6 series one. That is causing the TIGHT fitment?

Thanks Mike. When you had the bumper installed did you trim any of the foam or change the foam? It almost seems like the m6 bumper shrunk lol doesnt want to completly go on. The foam in the m6 bumper is smaller apparently, and allows for a better fit.?
