Hey guys, I'm new here.
I have a 2007 E60 525
Before I make up my mind order M5 front Bumper, just wondering how can we hide the Fog light? ( we cant just cut it off,can we? since it might show error).
And for M5 rear bumper, how big modification should I do to make it fit for E60?
I heard that it is very complicated to install the m5 body kit ( front + rear bumpers + side skirts) onto a E60 as M5 chassis is lower than E60, once change E60 to M5 body kit, it changes everything. is that correct?
Cheers~~

 

I zip tied my fog light wires to the back of the front bumper.

The rear bumper fits

The side skirts fits

The front bumper needs slight retrofitting

or you can just go ahead and get the m5 fenders.

I think it changes the look of the car.

That is the only change I experienced, besides the chest hair that appears after the mod.

 

What about the light bulds? zip on the back of the bumper as well?

 

My fogs are attached somewhere behing the airducts, so no errors on iDrive .
The only thing to remember is to don't turn them on

About M5 rear .. It fits perfectly as normal bumper or Mtech .

 

Is the M-5 kit, opional when ordering the 535i, the same thing as the "aero" kit? If I added the M-5 kit to a 535i order, will the body look the same as the factory 550i without adding any optional kit? Thanks.

 

Hi all,

Im new here. Im trying to install a OEM m5 front bumper on my 528 (e60) right now and Im having a hard time making it fit. Does anyone know exactly what I have to do to make it fit? Please, someone help. My car is in pieces in my garage. Thanks...

 

To make it fit correctly you would need M5 front wheel fenders. They are wider than non-M5 front fenders.

edit: Are you sure your bumper is M5 bumper or is it mtech. Mtech will fit correctly with standard front fenders.

 

I cut my fogs , yes it shows errors on iDrive. but i think BMW can clear the errors.
