Got the bumpers changed yesterday and today 
!
The front bumper is OEM M5 bumper, and the rear one is FK Automotive M5 replica bumper. It's made of ABS plastics and the fitment is 100%. This was a bit of a surprise to me, because the bumper was pretty cheap, only 205?
.
Some pics...
I taped up the fog light bulbs into the front bumper metal frame, because I didn't want to get any error messages due to missing bulbs. As we know, OEM M5 bumper doesn't have fog lights.
Had to think a moment about the fastening of this rear mesh haha! The simpliest way was the best.
Rear end stripped.
My black exhaust tips had got some rock chips etc. so now it was a good time for a quick fix. This is before.
After.

The FK Automotive bumper included this replacing part too.
Here we go!
....And I'm liking it.
Lots of mods done in last few weeks:
1) QUAIFE LSD
2) Fixed the rubbing issues
3) Front bumper
4) Rear bumper

looks great!
from the first shot, your car looked like a bronze color!
the fitment looks really good, it seems your fenders are oem m5 as well... allowing you to properly fit a oem m5 front end on there??
however, can i bug you and ask what wheels and exhaust are you running, im really liking your style
