Hey guys...
Can someone tell me any good places to get a m5 kit that will fit my 2004 525i in or around the Bay Area?
I also heard that oem m5 kit does not fit 2004 525i, is that true? Can someone please verify?
Thanks!

I think the oem M5 bumpers dont line up with our fenders, im not sure. But Umnitza has a special for the replica M5 Kit, which is what i have. Pm them. They are in Cali, im not sure where. Trinity also has the front bumper and sides i believe. Pm Nerweezy for more info

Yes, the OEM M-tech kit DOES fit the 2004 E60 (all that matters is that it's an E60). You have a few vendors in the Bay Area, Sleek Motoring is up there I think.
If you're looking to ship a kit to you contact Trinity (trinityautosport.com) and they will hook you up with either the OEM kit or the M5 Style kit. Either way they can help you out, good luck

I think he asked for M5 kit not M-tech, as they are different. OEM M5 bumper is made to line up with the OEM M5 fenders. Someone correct me if im wrong?
Ok, someone tell me the difference between m tech and m5 kit??? Teach a new e60 noob lol

They look a bit different in the front but the big difference is in the rear bumper. I'm sure someone will chime in with a more in-depth explanation and maybe some pics

THe M5 kit is, indeed, intended for the M5 only since the fenders are wider (augustrush is correct). The M-Tech kit or M-sport kit is a different kit, looks different too. The best bet is to get a hold of Nerweezy and let him know what look you're going for and he'll hook you up, best customer service ever - for the M5 "style" kit look at my gallery, it's what I have - front and sides.
