I got every available option on my 2009 535XI with the exception of the M aerodynamic. This kit is an accessory my dealer can get but then they have to paint it and put it on, I couldnt purchase it with the car. No big deal. However, does anyone know if the kit works with cars that have the night vision? The night vision camera is mounted on the front bumber and I dont see a space for it on the kit bumper. I suspose I could just install the side rails and rear bumber if worst comes to worst.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yes, NV can be on a M-Sport but the parts have to made for it (as for the ACC and PDC).
See Rudy's car for an example (this is not Rudy's car but a bmw.de configuration MY '09).

There may be a problem on the 535...something to do with the intercooler.

I think Ricracing is probably correct, if the M-Sport parts are indeed the same as the OEM supplied Sport Package when you order the car (at least on the 550i). A 550i Sport accomodates the Night Vision Camera. I doubt there are differences with the M-Sport front air dam, but not being familiar with it I think it would be worth checking out first.

Would the NV cam really take so much place?
I can't config the car in EU, because the 535i is not available over here,
but it's good for all the E60's sold here (also the non-turbos 530i and 540i
and the turbo-diesels 530d and 535d).

Here is a pic of mine however my car is an 07 550i should be the same part. BTW my car had one of the first nightvision applications and caused me to miss my european delivery pickup because BMW NA did not think my car would be ready in time.
Anyway the port in NJ had to special order the part which is just around the camera opening.
I have to believe the nightvision works with the aero kit on a 535.
