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?

The only thing that has a single part number is the whole kit. If you want just the front bumper, then yes, you or your dealer is going to have to figure out all the parts that are needed.

The front part of the M kit is the most expensive because of the new fogs that is needed. If you want you can go without the fogs so it will look like an M5 but I wouldn't do that.

I just found out from my local agent that the M5 bumper and the M Kit bumper is different. Beside the no fog light, the size is also slightly different and I heard it can't be fitted on other E60 models.

maybe some tuners have a lip that you can put on the original bumper to make it look more agressive?

Yup you can certainly do that, but in Hong Kong. The M kit is the cheapest one comparing the Hamann or ACS. Also if you are thinking about getting the kit without a set of aftermarket rims, then the M kit is the best choice.

Are the rear fenders on the e60 and m5 the same? So, will the real M5 rear bumper (with the two exhaust cutouts) fit on an E60?

It would seem that they are the same as the rear wheels on the M5 look sunk into the fender compared to the front. The M5 rear wheels are about 1.25" bigger diameter than the 545 18's.

Yup ALL these parts...

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...675&hg=51&fg=15


So find a dealer that knows what they're doing to order everything... I was going to order the front and side seperatly... but it wasnt worth it in the end. I wouldnt save more than $200 ish but theres a lot of hassel ordering parts seperatly... But it can be done.
