On the left side the aligment with fenders is quite good .
On the right, less good but at the end I will keep normal fenders, althought they asked me if I would have liked to get M5 fenders from the dealer .
Honestly, the car is orientblau and now, with the bumper unpainted and the fender painted, from 2-3 metres far I am not able to see the gap .
I think that when the bumper will be painted the gap will be invisible .
I have a doubt: should I install foglights ?
I am considering to don't put them on and keep the light in the iDrive (is it possible to turn it off by the dealer's computer ?) .
Will see

Looks good! Post pics once completed.
Fred, I need an advise about airducts : I saved your images but my Mtech has different ones . Which airducts did you have, normal or M5 ?
If, as I think, they were from the normal bumper (non Mtech) then cut, can I get M5 airducts directly ?
Thanks, bye!
Edit :
I think I need the followings :

Is it me, or aren't you the one who said your dad's 545 is better off than an M5 as a daily driver car? Just curious, because it seems to me that you are converting your entire 545 to an M5, less the engine of course...

Interesting... you talk so much shit on the forums about how your 545i is better than an M5, yet you continue to make yours look like one.
