M5 rear bumper and fenders
I have a 2008 550i m sport and was thinking of doing a dual exhaust.
Ultimately the OEM m5 rear bumper would be best but its a bit out of my budget.
So I have the choice of either the umnitza rear bumper or this one I found on ebay which is also high quality made of Polypropylene:

Also along with the rear bumper, I would like the wider style m5 front fenders.
Also I would ultimately prefer OEM. Anyone know the OEM cost?
I found these ones on ebay, they are the only ones that actually claim to be slightly wider like the OEM m5 fenders:

You need M5 front bumper too if you're putting M5 fenders. Due to larger wheel well and wider wings, the standard or mtech front bumper will not sit nicely.
OEM front fenders + inner fenders will cost around $1000 or maybe a bit less.
I believe that Umnitza rear bumper is made in the same factory where they make the JOM bumpers that are sold here in EU. I used a JOM rear bumper in my ex car and the fitment was 100% as well as the quality.

edit: According to those M5 front fender pics, they seem to be just standard fenders with a hole for the grille. They may be wider, not sure. Notice how the side blinker sits lower in the OEM M5 fender in the picture taken outside! Those fenders in the outdoor pic are OEM M5 fenders, it is not the product they are selling. In other pics where they show their actual product, the blinker sits higher, like it sits in standard fenders as well. Also, they claim their fenders sit properly with any E60/61. However, that is not the case with truly wider M5 fenders, like I typed above.

Thanks for the heads up Anzafin, I know you're one of the handful people who has been able to successfully fit OEM m5 fenders using the m5 inner fenders along with it. Your fitment looks great with the mtech front bumper.

I am hoping I can do the same by simply handing over your tutorial to a body shop.

the fenders on your website have identical pictures to the ones on ebay:

so I'm quite curious to see how they look installed.
