It sure changes the look. A funny thing my wife said was that the front now looks like a smiley face. Great thing is she likes it.

Got a lot of the info from the DIY section. here is the link: https://5series.net/forums/topic/384...m-rear-bumper/
From what I remember, there are 3 bolts on each side by the wheels, the 5 torx on the top and a few more in the front fender.

Yeah, learned a lot. Well worth it but I am still tired and sore from laying on the concrete.

I am sure other people have observed this as well, but the M5/M5tech's overall look is well emulated by the Mazda 3's. The smiley face, haha.

Very nice, now it need some M5 mirrors and LCI tail lights. Oh and a finisher of course.

Looking good man, still got the mirrors if you interested....
