What bumper is that? First time I noticed that type.

My bumper needs replacing and this is a good midrange sport style IMO

Thanks mate
And yes, the chrome shadowline has been vinyl tapped matte black to go with the grilles and the diffuser

No spacers at the moment, although i am thinking to get one soon.
Any brand/size suggestions?
I'm running 15mm H&R spacers at the rear on my current E61 Touring. H&R were recommended to me by BMW.
As for the E60, which I am planning on getting again as soon as the right one comes along, I will probably go for the 15mm H&Rs again. Other members have opted for Rogue Engineering spacers, either 12mm or 15mm. (Heres an example post -- just did a quick search with "rogue spacers") They also seem to be regarded as a high quality supplier.
