I believe you'll need a couple of different plastic brackets to mount the bumper. Contact your local parts dealer and they can help you out. Or check on www.realoem.com.

And preferably a new exhaust, because it's difficult fit the M5 bumper with the stock one .

Go to RealOEM.com and print out the M5 rear bumper sheet and the interior bumper sheet.

You'll need parts no. 1 and 6. PN#2 comes with the bumper from BMW supply.

You'll need PN# 14
Assuming you have PDC and no tow hitch. You'll need other misc. parts like screws, clips, etc. but the those should be small ticket items.
Side skirts are easy too. BUT, the front end is a nightmare. Beware, there are lots of parts for the front M-tech.

Did EuroRev do the install right in front of you? They may have had some extra hardware for the install laying around or god forbid... zip ties!
