You are going to want to get aftermarket front M5 bumper. OEM M5 bumper have fitment issues as you will require to change both fenders for it to fit.

You can contact Trinity Autosport or Uminitza. They both are vendors on this forum.

Learn how to use the search feature. It is your friend.

BTW, based on the information provided above, I purchased a M5Style bumper from Trinity, one of the Forum sponsors. It gets installed this weekend. I'll come back and post pics.

Trinity sells it for $349 USD, but shipping to Brazil will probably be a killer.
