hey guys i recently bought an oem M-tech bumper and planning on putting it on my 2006 530i. Will it bolt on directly or not? i have read that the M5 oem bumper doesnt fit perfectly, so people recommend M5 conversion kits. But is it a case with OEM M-Tech bumpers?


thank you~

Someone else will confirm this but I think that you're correct that the M-tech (or M-sport) bumper will bolt on to the non-M E60. I'm pretty sure that the M5 bumper, at least in the front, will not bolt up without issues...

you guys are awesome!!! thank you..

now the only issue is, the bumper i bought has PDC holes, my car doesnt have those sensors? should i just have the body shop fill those holes or just get used sensors and fill em up?

you can either have the holes filled or just get plugs for the PDC holes. personally I would have a body shop fill in the holes.
