Is the ACS a complete full front bumper? Or is it add-on to the standard bumper?

It's an add-on and it looks great IMHO.

I thought it was a complete bumper. In real life, can you tell that it is an add-on? I dont like add-on stuff. It looks abit cheap.

You can see it at the lowersides of the bumper (where your wheel sits). I noticed that the part sticks out a bit sideways and if it isn't glued correctly you will notice a little gap..

I'm not into the add-on stuff but the ACS looks very very nice..

Is the M5 wider than a regular 5? So will the M5 front bumper fit a regular 5?

Also could members with the ACS front post closeup pics please?

The M5 front bumper is indeed too wide for the regular 5 series. Just like the old m3 bumper wouldn't fit on a regular 3 series.

I think you can retrofit the M-sport front bumper through your dealer. But I don't know how it will look without the side skirts and rear bumper (and 18" m style wheels)
