Great idea to swap fenders Anzafin!!
Did you buy the fenders OEM from the dealer (I see a dealer sticker on the fender), and if so, what did they cost per piece? I can't wait to see the finished product on your car.
Cheers!

Thanks guys!
Yes I bought them from the dealer. I tried to find aftermarket fenders, but couldn't find any decent. I found few made out of fiberglass, but I don't want to use that.
I also bought the inner fenders, which are different compared to non-M5 inner fenders. I'm trying to make the fenders fit with the OEM mtech front bumper, which is narrower than the OEM M5 front bumper, but I think I'll find the right way to do it.
I paid 850? for the inner fenders and the actual fenders, but their stock prices were something like:
- inner fenders 2 x 160?
- M5 fenders 2 x 400?
...so I got quite a good offer I think.

Thanks for the info Antti,
I can't wait to see how this turns out and how the fenders will fit with the Mtech bumper. You've done some beautiful work to your 5. This will be another accomplishment.
