There's a difference between an M5 conversion kit and an M-Tech sport kit. You can find a lot of info on this site if you use the Search function. And, yes, an M-Tech sport kit will fit a 520d. I'm deciding whether to buy one right now (going to the shop in an hour).

YES Of course a M5 Kit or M tech kit will go on the 520d, in fact it will go any E60, Regardless of body and engine!

I would suggest OEM BMW PARTS for the kit, if it is an M5 KIT that you want, check my car below, mine has been completely changed exterior, so for sure it can be done, and white will look real nice, so do you have any budget,

i mean there is a lot of things that will need changing

FRONT BUMPER + Air ducts, fittings
REAR BUMPER + Fittings
SIDE SKIRTS
WHEELS
REAR SPOILER
M5 MIRRORS
FRONT FENDERS
GLOSS DOOR PANELS
CHANGE OF BRAKES?

I see that your in Notts, there should be garages local, if not pm me and il send you a lot of info ref garages round our area, you may have to drive to london 1 day!!!!

Good luck anyhow mate

=========================
'lovemy520d' ,

I just converted my 2004 e60 530i US Model last month, and first beware like everything else that BMW NA sells is not priced reasonable of what I thought it should be, but the M5 conversion to me was all well worth it when its all over and done!

If you want to know what my final cost was for the M5 conversion PM me for the results, but first sit down, be sure to take two Nitro's, and get ready for a big $$$$ surprise when you see the price, and especially the price of two BMW OEM e60 M5 mirrors!! I about had both a CVA, and a heart attack when I got billed by BMW even with my BMW discount!!
