Doubt its the M5 bumper, as the BMW parts system doesnt even have the part numbers yet ( checked at dealer yesterday ), and thus the parts warehouse at Dingolfing wont ship them ( if they even have them )
its probably the //M Sport bumper

Yes, the real M5 bumper will not fit the regular fenders with out modification.
the mirors will also need modification to fit

subterfuse,
I am seeing two m aerodynamic kits on ebay. Eurorev has their kit for $1499.00 and bekkers has their's at $2200.00. I think the only difference is that the eurorev kit does not come with side skirts. Did you order from either of these suppliers? Were you satisfied with their service?
Thanks
Ray

When looking at M-kit prices, you must consider the following:
Is it for the entire kit? (ie front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts)
Does it have PDC? (kits without PDC are cheaper.... be careful when ordering)
Is it painted, or primed? (Painted will be several hundred more)
That Eurorev kit is too cheap to be the entire kit. It is also too cheap to be painted. And I doubt it has PDC. I would stay away from these guys.
The Bekkers kit is the enitre kit. It is primed. It has PDC. This is a better bet.
