So...I already have to update my original plan
"M5 front bumper (already in my garage waiting for fresh layer of paint, and some warmer weather)
White angel eyes
Painted calipers
CF roundels
Black grille
Possibly tinted rear lights
If I stumble over some reasonably priced sideskirts, M5 mirrors or other interesting stuff I might pull the trigger on them as well."
after I searched a salvage yard database and found these babies:
They were actually priced like regular mirrors so it was a good find.

Nah unfortunately not. I checked the entire database and they were only 2 cars being parted out for now. There was a steering wheel but nothing else that could be used for visual upgrades. It was 250 EUR + shipping though so it's the same price as objects I've seen on ebay. Anyway, if someone's looking for other stuff to an M5 you can PM and I can check this db.
