Hi guys!

I have a coupon of at least ?1300 for 124 wheels and OEM mirrors that I have returned to the dealer .
I don't know exactly the value, we haven't calculate it yet .

But I am thinking WHAT I can do with this coupon ... M5 front conversion, from Mtech ?
No, I don't want to waste so many money for a bumper or a fender a little different from them I already have .


Thus ... I can add further ?500 and get all these parts :

But I'm wondering if I can fit them ...

Is anyone sure on "fittableness" of M5 brakes on a normal E60 ?

Thanks a lot!

If you're looking for brake, someone in the Classifieds section is selling his Brembo GT brake. You might want to take a look at it.

No arcleid : I must get M5 brakes at my dealer because they have a debt with me and I could get M5 brakes with only about ?500 .
Otherwire I wouldn't know how I can get, between OEM parts, with that coupon .
