E60 OEM M5 front bumper center grid problem
Recently I got a chance to install oem m5 front bumper on my 08 535i. I already have the bumper installed (as shown in picture below), but I'm having problem with the center grid.
As shown in picture, once the bumper is installed, there are some brackets or pipe (between the yellow lines) blocking the center grid.
I've checked realoem, it looks like it's an auxiliary radiator?
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks.

I believe that is a air cooler for the turbo system that a M5 would not have. A OEM M5 is not a direct swap on a 535. You would need a OEM M-Sport front cover, which would be made to accommodate that air cooler.
People on here have done the M5 swap before with modifications. Good luck.
