I want to get the M5 side skirts but don't know which vendor sells the ones that fit right. Any recommendation?
To the OP, let us know how they fit. Thanks.

Thanks!.Im very anxious to see how it'll look once the body shop gets done with it, as silver is one of the more harder colors to match.

Will do. But on a side note from what I've seen the Umnitza/M-tech side skirts they offer come pretty close to Oem fitment if not Oem to say the least on the 5 series that I've seen them on.

Looks like you got some fun ahead of you. Let me know how the ACS spoiler and M5 trunk finisher install goes. I'm thinking of doing this to my AW E60.
