On regular E60s, the part between the rear tail lights that holds the license plate is concaved whereas the M5 is flushed. The trunk lid finisher is just a plastic piece that mounts with double sided tape and fills in the concave part and makes everything flushed. I hope that makes sense.
Check out this pic. You can see a side by side comparison. These are fellow E60 Members. Forgive me, I did a quick search and do not have the members names to give the proper credit to.

Looking at the picture, the left has the M5 Trunk Finsher. The E60 on the right is stock. You can see the M5 Trunk Finsher in My sig.

So the stock piece is concaved (on the left), and the "M5" piece is flat (on the right)? If that's the case, I like stock. I'm gonna have to go look at the Wife's 535

note that on the LCI cars (your 535) the finisher will not work. Ask westcoast550.
