My Ride: BMW 530i (Model 2005)
Hello,
I want to replace my M rear bumper on my 530i (Model 2005) with a M5 rear bumper.
So I have to drive some weeks with the original 530i exhaust and the M5 bumper.
Does that fit or will I get problem with bumper and exhaust?

yes it fits, but it'll be butt ugly because the stock tips are too tiny for M5 rear.
But I have to drive to the exhaust company which is over 300 miles away.
Do you mounted the M5 rear bumper also to your car?
Or where did you get this information?

Yes, im using the M5 rear bumper...seen all sorts of bumpers fitted on stock exhaust before..
the tips are small, doesnt pose any probs as aftermarket bumper exhaust gaps are even bigger.

From what I have heard here on the forums and from one member who has personally done this, you will need to cut the stock exhaust tips off to mount and clear the M5 Rear Bumper as to not melt it. Good time to to go with a custom quad setup.

I am waiting on my M-tech kit with M5 bumper from quag_m. I was told that should fit without serious modifications.
