Has anyone had any experience with putting an BMW OEM M5 rear bumper with REMUS quad exhausts on a e60 530i? If so can you tell me what problems you had with them, if any with the look, sound, etc. (SEE PIC BELOW on RIGHT)

Has anyone here had any experience with any other quad exhaust system fitting on a BMW OEM M5 bumper?

Thanks in Advance

Eddie Presley

How do you clean the 172 wheels? How does the M5 rear bumber differ from the 5 series? Thanks

That's a load question since Remus and RD Sport makes the quad, but you have to do some custom mandrel bent per VT (he had RD on his m5 rear bumper). Remus appears to have a good fit for your m5 rear, but some people don't like the the "unbalanced" sound because Remus uses one muffler as you already know. Remus owner, please chime in.

Sound is so relative, you almost have to state your preference to get some sort of answer from people who "been there done that." In any case, your biggest challenge is the narrow space on the right side for muffler fitment. You can put a couple of mufflers upstream, but it will hang pass your vehicle's current ground clearance maybe by 1/2 to 1 in" using 4-4.5 inches thick mufflers.

Thanks I am going with REMUS quad!! (I love the dual x pipes, but mine is just a 3.0)

I use soap and water, and wheel wax that I buy from Bavarian Autosport for around 20.00 a can that last a long time, and then RIM ICE for 7.50 a bottle that I buy at my local BMW dealer, that RIM ICE keeps the brake dust down. THE BMW OEM M5 rear bumper, for one thing it has place for quad exhaust pipes, plus it just M5 design and looks better in my opinion, all though all BMW rear bumpers look good! There are pics of some guy here at the forum with e60 M5s, and you can llok at theirs in the M5 gallery I suppose, but I will be posting mine at soon as I get mine back from the Paint & Body shop, and you can see it.

By the way I will be selling one rear bumper that is not stock, but is an BMW OEM Aerodynamic M it, and I am selling the Rear aero M bumper that's comes painted BMW OEM T. Silver in Showroom condition for $250.00 when I get it back tomorrow, and is made to work with stock exhaust systems, (SEE PIC), but you can purchase a quad cut out center piece too, if you wanted to keep it and go to quad exhaust.
