Got the car back today, going to install most of the trim tonight.
I just thought of something that might be an issue. Anyone know if the PDC sensors are the same size on the M5 bumper as the stock bumper? I know guys had issues with this on the M-Tech.

Working on the car now and ran into a couple of issues.
1. PDC sensors do NOT fit in the M5 bumper. I guess Im going to have to order up the correct PDC sensors. Does anyone know if I need to order up the cable as well or can I use the stock cable?
2. Mounting the brake ducts has become and issue as the M5 airbox isnt there. Going to search and see if I can find out what everyone else has done for this.

Some updates ...
Ok from my research on here it seems like most of you dont run the brake ducts. However I figured out a way to modify them to mount up to the bumper and still direct air to the existing ones. Basically you have to mount them to the bumper and trim the back of them to line up with the normal E60/E61 stuff.
Next I realized I ordered the wrong glass for my M5 Mirrors, so now I have to return them and get the correct ones. If you buy the OEM M5 mirrors they made changes in them so make sure to order the correct glass for the correct mirrors.
Last but not least I broke my matte black kidney grills taking them off the stock bumper so now I have to order a new set of those as well as PDC sensors as the factory ones do NOT fit the M5 bumper.
