My Ride: 2008 535xi Touring - KW Var 3 Coilovers, VMR V710 20x9" wheels, Falken 452 245/35/19" Tires, OEM M5 Front Bumper, OEM M5 Front Fenders, OEM M5 Mirrors, Hamman Style CF Front Lip, Matte Black Kidney Grills, 20% Tint, B&W BMW Roundels.
As you guys know us E61 owners in the states cant order a M5 Touring rear bumper from our dealerships. The result is us having to source one from Europe. For me I looked into this, and the sad thing is that the bumper with exchange rates is about $1200, plus freight which is almost the same price as the bumper due to the large size. I was looking on WALD of Japans site for some new front lip options for the OEM M5 front bumper, and came across this rear for non-M cars. The good thing is there are dealers here in the states for WALD products:
Not sure the exact cost but it might work out to be cheaper. Im going to look into pricing and report back.

That looks more like an add-on to the OEM rear bumper than a whole new bumper. Seems you'd have to get the E61 M5 rear bumper first then get this.

Full bumper replacement. No need for M-tech. They make a M-Tech addon but it dosent look like the M5 rear bumper.
Full rear bumper for NON-M Cars:
M-Tech add on for NON-M cars with M-tech:
Add on piece for OEM M5 rear bumper:
as you can see the full bumper replacement for the NON-M cars is made to look identical to that of the OEM M5 bumper with their add on piece.
