Are all the mounting points in the right place to just bolt this in?

A few important questions:
Were there any modifications needed to install them?
Is the black plate in the middle new, or did you use your existing one?
Do you think I can still fit the middle UltraRacing bar with these pull rods in place? I'm not sure, but I think they mount to the points where these rods connect to the rear suspension?

Thanks for testing and posting this Ricky, I've been toying with this idea for a long time!

Congrats ricky
I am very happy that you install these M5 bars, this proves that the e60 dose have some body roll and need bars if BMW makes them for the M5

So this is a chassis stiffening device? I just watched Two Guys garage (car show in the US) install something very similar on a new Lexus. It was kinda funny, at the beginning of the show they had a bunch of boxes of parts sent to them by Lexus and when they mentioned this item they described it as going on the shock towers to stiffen those up and later realized it went under the car.
