Does anyone know if its possible to order just the M-Bumper instead of the whole package? I'm looking into installing just the M-bumper instead of the whole kit.

thanks

KickinA,

Get the OEM M5 front bumper and be different. Everyone gets the M sport pack bumper - go one step further.

Apparently the M5 front fenders are wider than the standard E60, so the M5 front bumper won't fit a non-M E60.

Stream,

Now you've answered a question I had. I.e. are the M5 wings/wheel arches wider than an E60. When I was at the Nurburgring recently I stood next to the Ring Taxi and couldn't tell the diffence.

These 2 pix show how the M5 wheel arches are wider:

KickinA, you'll have to go two steps further then, M5 bumper and M5 front fenders.

Why are there no foglights on the M5? Or are they hidden?

Nope, they take it out because the V10 needs more air then the regular E60. So the place where the fogs used to be are pipes that leads to the intake.

I'm wondering if i can just order the bumper and associated parts via one part #? Or do i have to manually go through and find every single part # for the bumper and associated parts?
