Can anyone show me a diagram or map on how to remove the e60 fender? I may want to replace it myself (got dented). And if I buy the replacement fender will it be prepainted? Thanks!

Do you have any experience doing body work? If not, my advice would be to not attempt this repair yourself!

Installing a fender is not a simple "bolt-on" DIY job. Besides, the fender does not come pre-painted so you're likely going to need the services of a professional...or Jeff Spicoli...

gta say nthe same here too, i thought i could do it myself, when entering the de-cals of the M5, but let Paul@Mstyle take care of it, as the painting is often different and only pros can match this, plus if its wrong, the have to sort it, so you have that peace of mind.

I know it costs a lot, but its worth it mate, dont want a odd matched fender. Is it normal E60 fender or and M5 fender.

The fittings to the bumber are quite hard, i broke my pivot, and then just let Paul take car of it.

Hope you make the best chioce, and got any pics of the fender?

Thanks
