I have found a genuine m5 bumper for sale and I was wondering if it will be a straight swap with the standard SE one?

Somebody has told me that the wings on a genuine m5 are more flaired and that the bumper may not match up to my standard wings? Is this correct?

Thanks

No, you will need m5 replica.

Is that the same case for the rear bumper as I would like to change that aswell?

If my memory services me correct the rear should be okay, but for the front, to make it work, you would also need the M front fenders, as it just a tad bit wider.

Im sure other will chime in with a confirmation.

Yes. the fenders on M5 are slightly wider. However, I have seen a lot of people fitting OEM m5 bumpers on non M cars, and it doesn't look that bad. As for the rear, should be straight fit

+10000 Listen to the man, he knows of what he speaks. Rear = direct fit, front = fits, but will take some work to get it to fit. Good luck :twoup:

i would def get the mtech rep or mtech to keep the fogs! i hate the fact the my m5 has no fogs

Yep there is that too. I would have no problem giving up my fogs for a REAL M5, but for my car? I like em there :twoup:

well in my 530i i love driving around with my hid fogs and just the angel eyes on looks sooo mean and i have plenty of visable light driving around. I can't do that on my M5

Yes oem m5 front fits w/ m5 brackets. Check my gallery. GL w/ the mod.

Did not have a M5 wider fenders? :think:

What M5 brackets? Any photo or link please.

This right here

ive seen the pictures and with the m5 brackets the m5 bumper does fit, its not 100% perfect but very close without the m5 fenders

Does anyone know if the replica M5 front bumper with the fogs, like the one from Umnitza, is available in the UK ? Have been searching for one in the UK and no luck so far. Wonder if Umnitza would ship them to the UK.

Just check out my gallery pics guys. No need for M5 fenders.

Sorry i dont have pics of M5 brackets itself but you can look it up on realoem.com.

That's right hommie!

can some please take some pictures of the m5 brackets or provide the part #? thanks again!
