My Ride: 08 535xi Wagon
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I've been doing research and trying to figure out what e60 M5 parts fit our LCI 2008-2010 535xi.
From what I gather, the front fenders and hood fit, but you need to get the pre LCI PDC sensors for the front bumper along with the wiring harness. To use the front fenders, you also need the fender liners.
The mirrors fit.
The rear bumper does not fit. In order to get the rear bumper to fit, you need to buy one from a european m5 wagon. For us on this side of the pond, the Ummnitza bumper or a M Sport bumper are our options. How does the M sport bumper look different from the M5 bumper?
The dead pedal fits. How about the M5 pedals?
The steering wheel fits, except the paddle shifters won't work, and you'd have to get an airbag as well.
The wheels do not fit because of offset.
The door sills fit.
The brakes fit, but the rears need the hub replaced as well.
Will the gauge cluster work? Will the sedan aluminum door trim fit? I read somewhere that e60 and 61 have different rear doors.
Is this information correct? Am I missing anything?
Soft close will fit.

Door sills? Would people really do that? The M5 badge fits!! Lol.
How about some FUN M5 parts? I can confirm the following will fit:
- brakes (rear hubs swapped)
- fenders
- bumper (if fenders are installed)
- side skirts
What about end links, bushings, and other suspension components? I have been meaning to check some realoem part numbers to find options to further improve the handling. Anyone have info?
There is a slew of other parts that will fit but they are minor and would make the car more of a M5 wanna be rather than actually improve the driving experience.
If you are serious about this your best bet is to look up part numbers and cross reference.
