At last i managed to get one at a reasonable price genuine brand new never fitted in org box for my 530d m5 rep not badged up as a m5 i would like to add..

un-boxing

what do i need to buy to fill the gap in or do i leave it like this?

could not pick up the stamps etc one was in the middle with he number etc and also in the middle a circle saying m5 then on the right side looking at it fitted it had the bmw stamp again and some more number p/n's etc

My link

do i remove the side brackets or is the bumper fitted as it is?

the bumper was also marked up on the back with a circle and a cross in the center as to where to drill out for pdc's


pain in fitting this is you have to get the exhaust fitted same time you cant mix - nothing will fit with each other.

not a clue why the pics come out s*it once linked sorry!

 

Thanks for showing us those hi-res pics

On a serious note, are you planning on putting a tow hitch on your car cause that bumper looks like its made to have a hitch cover...

 

yea I need a microscope to see that

 

You should double check here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...77&hg=51&fg=15, but it looks like you'll need:

51127897774 - Lower center reinforcement
