Dropped the Umnitza M5 Style rear off at the body shop this morning. Gonna drop my car off soon to get it installed. Here are a few fitment photos they took with another car they had in the shop. The rough areas around the PDC holes is where I did some sanding to remove the burrs from the factory drilling.

Anybody run into issues with the PDC sensor brackets on the Umnitza M5 replica rear bumper were not bored large enough for the pre-LCI PDC sensors? Shop called me during installation and told me that the PDC sensor brackets work great for the newer/smaller PDC sensors (they even grabbed a PDC sensor from a newer X5 and slapped it on there to verify), but it does not work with my pre-LCI PDC sensors. What did you guys do to work around this hurdle?

Here is a photo of the bumper installed. The PDC sensor holes will need to be bored out, and PDC sensor clips will need to be retrofitted into the bumper to accomodate the factory PDC sensors. They should have this done in the next week or so, or whenever the parts are available (part number: 51 12 0 432 217).
I'm addicted to driving my e60 and am glad it's in my posession while we wait for the PDC sensor clips.

This came today. Gonna have it installed and see what it sounds like. Still unsure whether to go with dual or quad tips. Hmm... :-)
In any case, we yanked off the Umnitza rear and installed an OEM M5 rear bumper. Should have done this to begin with. Looks much better with an actual vented (as well as non wobbly looking) diffuser and properly sized/framed PDC holes.
