I haven't heard from Brooklyn, but there is Prior Design that makes a M5 kit in fiber glass in Europe. They say it's not fully fiberglass, but I don't know. They also have a very good looking M3 widebody set available.
Prior Design - M5 kit
However, the front wings are not as wide as in a real M5.

I personally wouldn't buy fiberglass parts. Any good bodyshop will tell you fiberglass parts need extra work done to them prior to painting. In many cases the parts have imperfections and the finish isn't smooth. A half-ass bodyshop will just paint it and the end result is your reflection will look like a funhouse mirror.
