Unhappy

Is it possible to install the M5 Bumpers, front and rear, sideskirts on a regular e60. I really want this to work so I can have a bumper that looks good and at the same time durable. SOmebody already told me that it wasn't possible for the M5 is wider. But it sure dont look like its wider. Can anybody confirm this. Need more opinions. Thanks.

check ebay there's a guy selling 2 m5 kits for the e60 however he's in England but it would seem that they fit straight on the only problem I see is the M5 has twin exhausts at either side and the rear bumper allows for this so the e60 would look stupid or what about a sport kit the only difference between it and the M5 is that the M5 has no front foglights.

Just put on the M Sport kit, most people cannot tell the difference

The M5 ones cannot take foglights and even if it fits you will also have to change all the airducting to M5 standard ( M Sport retrofit kit contains the proper ducting )
