this is a oem m5 rear bumper it looks kinda off because its not bolted down and resting on the stock tips but fitment is perfect of the lower trunk part to the bumper when the stock exhaust is off

so far everything is going as planed. gap lines is from a brand new oem vis csl style trunk... for a carbon trunk that is almost $1k would think fitment would be at lease line up better but that just my eyes as I notice every little flaw. I'm petty sure no one will notice unless bring it up.
let me know what you guys think.
thanks!

looks like a great project man, and lots of good work put in to it
honestly though, If I had an M5 in black, I would keep it black and would not repaint it different color
not sure about the fenders though and measurement on them

Just curious,,, what is your car ...a 525,530,545,550 ? Cuz I can see it certainly not an M5 if you needed to buy a entire m5 body kit..
Anyways, your car look good as my car do ! When yours was black it looked almost exactly as my car now with those concave wheels lool
GL in your project

I am curious, if you were going for a full respray and getting all the M5 parts why not select an M5 exclusive color? I would have picked Interlagos Blue or Indianapolis Red, or even Silverstone Silver if I was going to do a respray anyway. I have always preferred M cars in M exclusive colors.

Looks like an exciting project.
Im doing the same along with engine swap
Didnt go with the V10 as it would be horribly expensive here in Norway but instead went with the V8 from the 550i.

Damn that's a lot of work to paint it a different color. I would have just got it wrapped so I could change it back if I wanted. But that's just me though.

They are really strict on the condition and the specs of the car when you convert it.
