Don't do it bro. The M5 fender grill really is a unique style of an M5 that shouldn't be put on a non-M. Other M parts are ok since they sell M-packaged non-Ms in other countries. But fender grills are a no no IMO. For me, it's like putting an M5 badge on your trunk.
Your car looks clean as it is. Just slam that mofo and put some aggressive spacers to make those 19s pop!

On a non-M5, I wouldn't do it!
