The fitment is nowhere near stock and does not allow for certain covers to go on the underbody of the vehicle.

Hopefully yours goes on without much trouble...

You will need to get the left right and center brackets from your dealer or either order them on line somewhere. Otherwise it's a little bit of a hokie pokie fitment with zip ties. The brackets for mtech and m5 are longer than yours. Other than that the bumper fits up nicely. If you install yourself. Make sure that you REMOVE your tail light and reinstall after bumper is on. Otherwise u will scratch the bumper!

This is what Tony is talking about the "zip-tie" mod.

The OEM M5 rear have a different part number (pre-LCI):

Left: 51127895751
Right: 51127895752
Center: 51127056343

I'm curious how those who bought the M5Tech rear have theirs mounted.
