Does anyone know where I can get M5 Fenders for a 2009 E60? The dealer is asking for way too much. Thought I'd get a replica, the shop where I get my parts painted is asking a little too much for the fenders/paint and install.

M5 fenders will not fit stock or mtech bumpers without extensive modifications. In my opinion it is not really worth the trouble.

FYI - I saw an e60 at the shop where I am getting my M5Tech bumper painted today, he had M5 Fenders on his e60 with M5Tech kit installed. The shop was asking me 1200 for both painted. So GFY

no where in your original post did you state your plans after you get the M5 fenders. Dbae was merely pointing out that M5 fenders will cause a stock non M5 bumper not to sit flush. And FYI, there is no such thing as an "M5tech bumper". It's either an Mtech or M5 bumper. M tech and M5 side skirts are the same. And I would hope you know the difference between an Mtech and M5 rear bumper
Seems like dbae was trying to warn or save you the headache of this mod as m5 fenders will not sit flush with a stock or m tech bumper without some modification, even then it's not a "perfect" fit. the condescending and smart ass remarks are uncalled for and unappreciated....:thumbsdown:
But, I'd like to support trusted vendors and members here so try contacting Gary @ Newport BMW https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=18067
or as dbae stated, Trinity Autosport
