Next is the quad exhaust and the V hood. Will need a real shop and not my garage to install these this time. Need professional help.

Nice, installing it yourself you've probably learned a bit more about your car

Is this an aftermarket kit? As normally M5 front bumper is wider and requirers the front wings / fenders changing? Yours seems a good fit hence the question

Thanks for all the replies guys.

The OEM M5 bumper is wider. We have the M5 brackets and M5 foam that was installed to get the fitment close. There needs to be a little more adjusting that needs to be done but not much. Will get it looked at when I get the hood painted and installed.
