The bumper actually is wider, but so are the fenders on the M5 so they line up perfectly. You may have some fitment issues with an OEM M5 bumper and stock fenders.

Can't say about airducts (really don't know if the bodyshop bought them) but I remember member my530i modded his ones (he posted pix, I must have them somewhere, tomorrow I'll check) .

About the ducts, my suggestion is to try. Or to wait for someone else who did the retrofit.

Anybody knows what part #6 is for?
I got a rear M5 bumper but seems missing the center air scoop. It supposedly channels air from under the car out through the bumper.

For #6 you have to make 2 little holes and screw it to the spare tire compartment.

Hmm, but part#6 is for M5 chassis right where the spare tire isn't located the same as the non-M5 chassis?

I know, but you need it because otherwise the inner part on the bumper wouldn't be tied anywhere. It is named "Reinforcement" indeed. However, it is cheap.

Even OEM Mtech kits do not fit 100% flush without some extra work
