Guys,
Who have done the oem m5 bumper upgrade on your non M cars, what did you end up doing with the fig lights? Because you can use them with the OEM m5 bumper.
Thanks in advance

The M5 fenders are different/wider So the fitment from the oem m5 bumper to the non m5 fenders is not just a simple swap out and there is a little modification that needs to be done. I went with non oem m5 just for that reason.

i just put them behind the brake ducts and remove bulb so i dont accidently turn them on. the fogs practically are no use if you swap to OEM M5.

Tony, i am also swapping the fenders :-)

Cwest, wouldn't having no bulb trigger some sort of warning light ? Can you bondo m5 reps fog housing on the OEM bumper?

Thanks guys

This is what I did. I taped the bulbs to the front frame:

antti,
do i need the brackets?

Anzafin

You mean these: 51117906473 and 51117906474?

If I remember it right, they are different in non-M5. The M5 bumper air ducts are very different shaped and the new brackets are needed to hold them. They are very PITA to change (not a lot of space to work there).
