I want to put the only the M5 front bumper on my car, but I don't want to change the fenders. Is it possible?


Thanks.

I don't think you put the actual M5 bumper on your car, but you could get the M-Tech bumper and that'll fit w/o any issues. I bet quad m could tell you for sure.

Yes its possible... several people have done it... you just need to wedge it in there.

It's possible, but it won't sit perfectly flush with the fenders without major bodywork. Some members find the gap between the stock fenders and M5 front bumper livable, but I personally would not. I suppose it's subjective in terms of your own taste.

Of course you can, you can fit it with or without M5 front side wings, as the M5 Wings are slightly wider, i have attached a pic for you take a look at,

Let me know what you think?

Thank you Busta for the PM. You were a great help.

E60BEEMER, i don't see the pictures. Maybe they didn't upload because of the size.


BMW-ALPINA, it looks great. So only the bumper, air ducts and side suports needs to be changed?


I'm from Romania, here this things like this gap, can be easly fixed and with low cost
