hi i just purchased 2008 bmw 550 front and back bumpers...the m5 looking ones...my car is a 2007 530i and i was wondering if i have to change my fender liners to a 550 in order for the bumpers to fit...im 100% sure if i had the m5 bumper than i would change them...but im not too sure about the 550 ones....and some other minor changes...the hood grill and fog lights are the same correct for the 530 and 550...thanks

Not sure if you are talking about the OEM M-Tech kit or the OEM bumpers for an M5. If you are talk about OEM M-Tech, you will need to shave/cut away the fender liners front and back. You will also need to drill a few new holes on the liner for the new bumpers to fit. Not sure about the M5 bumper in the rear but I know that the front is a challenge due to the fact the the front fenders on an M5 are wider. There are tons of DIY tips on this topic. Search for it. Good luck!

They should be bolt ons since the 550i and the 530 has the same body,
as do the pre-LCI and LCI.

The M5 is a different story.
