i think you also need to replace the fenders because m5 bumper is wider than the regular e60 afaik.

Nop fenders are the same width. What you need to adjust are the brackets.

You will need m5 side support brackets. They will fit 90%...to fit the bumper perfectly you will need M5 fenders. It's acceptable with stock fenders and the correct support brackets imo. Looked good when I had the M5 bumper

Here are the part numbers:
15 SUPPORT, SIDE PANEL FRONT LEFT M 1 51117895735 $5.80
15 SUPPORT, SIDE PANEL FRONT RIGHT M 1 51117895736 $5.80

Disconnect them. Hang them out of the way. Use them as Christmas lights. w/e
