not really, the bumper doesnt line up properly on the edges. The Mtech bumper is the closest to getting the m5 look that fits spot on. I have a painted mtech bumper available for $500

OEM M5 bumper is about 5mm wider on each side, it will fit though, just not perfect. There are a few members on here with the OEM M5 front bumper on a non-M and looks great. My suggestion is to get the replica M5 style front bumper from Umnitza or Trinity Autosports as they are made for non-Ms. Also there are a few threads about this subject already so do a search and you'll find plenty of info. Goodluck!

I have an OEM M5 bumper on a non-M E60. If I were you, I'd get the Umnitza bumper. It's lower in cost and should fit better from what I hear. Also, you get to use your fog lights.

Front bumper does not fit perfect unless you get the M5 fenders. For the rear, it will work with out modifying.

+1 For Trinity - They did my front bumper and it looks great. It fits perfectly, the Umnitza fronts have had fitment issues (according to a couple of threads - I can't say personally, I got Trinity's).

thanks for the support guys. OP, yes we do have a replica mtech front bumper that gives more of the look of the M5 front, but fog lights are still applicable
