You should contact a local body shop.... to see what they'd charge you... Just the install alone shouldn't cost too much.. My guess would be no more than $3-400 bucks.... its only 3-4 hours of work, and most of that time lies in the front bumper.

I'm converting the front end of my E60 to the M5 look, and have been calling around to see my pricing options. I really couldn't believe this when he emailed me back. So I had to share with everyone. I'll quote exactly what I asked and what my dealers "parts department" said in return.
"Hi Adam my names Rocky. I currently own a 2008 BMW 535XI which I leased with BMW Autohaus as of February. I'm looking to get the M5 bumper+full fenders to replace my M-tech bumper and stock fenders. If you could work out a price for me including parts, paint and installation that would be awesome. My car is alpine white by the way. Thanks-alot Rocky
he said "Hi Rocky, thank-you for contacting the BMW Autohaus Parts Department. I?ve worked out the best price possible with our body shop to perform this modification. The parts alone come to approximately $2200.00 (20% discount applied). The estimate on painting and installation of these parts by our body shop isapproximately 4 to 5 thousand dollars. This gives a total of approximately 7 to 8 thousand dollars. I hope we were of help to you and please contact me if there are any furtherquestions. Thank-you,
I then asked him why it is so expensive for the install and paint, he said "The paint and install is somewhat expensive for the reason that the doors have to be painted also to blend in with the fenders. If the fenders were painted alone the Alpine White colour would appear to be off in comparisonto the doors. Understandably, the body shop's job is to return your vehicle looking as close to the original condition as possible. These procedures obviously apply to collision repairs as well. Hope this helps,
Do you believe that BS. All I have to say is.. WOW!
