You can spot it as a non-M5 right away:
1. No trunk finisher
2. Brake rotor
3. Not a chrome grill - indicates MY04/05 530/525i
4. No shawdow line
5. M-tek front bumper
6. Exhaust pipes stick out too much
That's all for now. Other people can chime in just for fun

Haha... Wowe got you on the M5 front bumper, my530i. Actually, I thought it was a M-Tech front as well until wowe pointed it out.
I think it's probably not that hard to retrofit the fog lights into the M5 bumper in the hands of a capable body shop.
One other thing, some real M5s do have chrome trim. I've seen it over in the M5 subforum.
