Your car is so fantastic, Alex. The M5 bumper and the other M-setup looks really good on your car. Your next mod should be M5 trunk lid finisher.. 
Andy already suggested it, but I prefer to keep it clean (debadged in may, no M fenders, no trunk lid finisher.. all clean
) .

Alex has that bit of gap because it is an M5 bumper that is suppose to mate together with the M5 fenders which are slighlty wider. Your friends 550i with m-tec is a different bumper than the m5 one and works with OEM E60 fenders. Thats why there is no gap on his.

Better pics I have at the moment are the following (the car wasn't clean - I was coming back from a long trip around France and Germany) :

Attachment 60058
Attachment 60059
First time I parked on the grass
(and how many ugly cars on mountain in the summer compared to winter!)
After many mods, I definitely like how it looks.

what do you mean by m5 bumper with stock fenders?

The M5 has a different fender (a little larger) and a little different front bumper (bigger holes on sides and bigger grill --> more arrogant look) : if you accept that little gap (invisible from 2-3 metres), you can install it on your E60 without getting M5 fenders.

You deserve M5 mirrors and maybe the M5 front too

Ok, got it..so there are two different bumpers. I always thought they were the same. I guess I will have to look at some pics side by side to really see the difference.
Thanks
Thanks

Do the OEM E60 kidney grills fit the M5 front?
Sure!
