i have a 2004 530i. my passenger front fender got slightly bent when my rim caught the inside of it. i tried rolling it back, but went too far and the paint peeled from the inside of the fender. its ok for now, but i still hear rubbing every now and then. im wondering what my options were as far as switching to M5 fenders!! i know they are wider, thats y i wanna get them. better clearance. i know they wont match up to the stock 530i bumper. so i would like to get the M5 bumper also. now my other problem is that i have fog lights and was wondering if they made a replica M5 front bumper in its original wide version so i can retain my fog lights and still match up perfect with the OEM fenders? anyone have any better ideas to my delima??

Umnitza makes a good M5 rep bumper with fogs, but it matches up with non M5 e60 fenders...
You could always just get the stock fender replaced and get the umnitza bumper...
member nigxdoof just installed the umnitza m5 bumper: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=75260
and Silver 545i also just installed the same bumper: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=75304&hl=
the other option would be as you stated, OEM m5 fenders and bumper...but that would cost you a bit more....

so will i be able to retain my fog lights at all with the OEM front M5 Bumper? i want to keep what i have right now, but get wider fenders because if i just replace the fenders, its gonna happen again. i hear it rub every now and then already.

well that blows. i want to retain my fogs, but still have that factory width of the m5 bumper so i can use the fenders. i need the fenders because i have 20'' wheels and its lowered so i rub when i make right hand turns into inclined driveways and things. another reason y is that it looks good an would give me a bit more piece of mind. do you know if there is any way to retrofit the fogs? i guess i just need to look at some pics and see if i can make them work.
