I would like to update my 2007 550i to look like the '08-'10 models with the M look. I went to the dealer to get a qoute and to my surprise, I'm told I need to change more than just the bumper for this conversion. I'm told that I alsp need to change the reinforcement beams, energy absorbers and many more costly parts. They said that the reason for thi is because my car is actually an early production model for that year. Its supposedly was shipped in '06. All these parts obviously equates to more work than I expected.

have any of you guys encountered the same problems with this same year conversion?

what can I do to save money?

should I get a replica M kit? What is the exact part number?

thanks in advance..
