I would think not since the fenders are wider, which would mean it needs the bigger liners to cover them. Does Umnitza sell wider fender or regular ones pre-cut for gills?

actually turns out they are definitly flared in the middle liek the M5 fender but taper in on ends like regular e60 to fit the mtech and m5tech bumpers.. Didnt think to check that. .So thanks..
