My Ride: BMW E61 530d 2005 M sport, individual, shadow line

Hello Guy's

Got M paket front/ rear bumpers (looking for side skirts). Would like to replace the stock.
Does anyone knows for example regarding the Front bumper, do i need also fog lamps, special for M bumper or old ones fit?
Any tips and tricks who has done the upgrade?

thanks.

I think the fog lights should fit the new bumper; even if it is not the case, the new M bumper should come with the necessary hardware to use your existing fog lamps.

Check the DIY section, should be plenty of info there. I followed a thread there when replacing my standard front with M5 around a year ago and it worked out well.

If the bumpers are OEM, then the stock fog lights will not fit the mtech bumper. Mtech fog lights are different.

Here's the install instructions where you can see what parts come with the full OEM kit:

And "Guys" in the context above does not warrant an apostrophe. "Guy's" implies you are referring to something that belongs to Guy. Example: "Hey guys, Guy's new 535xi is a pretty bad ass ride."
