Just contact your nearest dealer or maybe you should mailorder
it from Germany and have it istalled and painted there or at any
BMW experienced dealer in a county near you.

It's nothing but a bolt on thing plus painting.

The grill is the same as on any E60 - just a chrome one.

But note that the suspension and wheels should also be changed!

The M-sport package needs the lowering chassi (- 15 mm) and a
minimun of 18" wheels, I recommend 19 inchers for the look.

Good luck!

Yes, if you want a link i can give you one: http://www.mstyle.co.uk/
There look for:
'M5' Bodykit - Stage 1
'M5' Bodykit - Stage 2

Hope i could help you , but remember you will step on many people their toes when you put on ///M5 badge on your car. Nothing against modding your car because the ///M5 looks o so good, but be carefull...

Well wasn't that i was giving on the site???!!! Look for it and you will see you can 'convert' (only exterior, not the engine ) to the ///M5.

That is what they give on the site if you press 5 series --> E60/E61 --> Exterior styling --> BMW/other:

'M5' Bodykit - Stage 1
Including M sport front bumper complete with foglamps, m5 side skirts, M5 rear bumper with stainless steel quad exhaust conversion
(Genuine BMW Parts)

'M5' Bodykit - Stage 2
Including M5 front bumper complete with air intakes, M5 front wings with M5 wing vents, m5 side skirts, m5 rear bumper and stainless steel quad exhaust conversion (Genuine BMW Parts).

So don't blame me, i gave the good site, it is not because its name is www.mstyle.co.uk that it is the M sport bodykit

If more questions ask me or mstyle

My understanding from the above is therefore:

No, the M5 front bumper will not fit your normal E60 unless you change the front wings as well since these are wider in the M5. The rear bumper and side skirts from an M5 will fit a regular E60.

Correct me if I'm wrong

You are correct.



But anyone who puts M5 fenders on a non-M5 car is officially a toolbag. :thumbsdown:



Just get the M-sport package. It's cheaper, looks almost as good... and you won't be a poser.
