neoenvision,

Apparently you can bend a oem M5 front apron to fit standard E60 fenders.

Wow those cars look nice

Any site?

So Dav530d,
It would appear you got the M5 front bumper bended onto the stock e60 fenders. Looks good! I know of a body shop in San Diego that bended e39 M5 fenders onto stock e39s. I think they charged extra for the labor. I remember the owner telling what a pain it was to fit the e39 M5 front bumpers.
