Default Retrofit m5 front, rear bumper, and side skirts

Was offered a good price for oem, and wanted to ask if anyone has done this upgrade? Direct bolt on, if not, what modifications were made to fit the e61 chasis?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

If you got an M5 rear bumper that should not fit on the E61 at all as the rear is a different shape. I don't know about front or side skirts.

1. Front M5 bumper requires M5 front fenders as the bumper itself slightly wider. It won't fit to stock fenders.
2. Side skirts - straight swap, no issues with them.
3. Rear M5 bumper from sedan won't fit the wagon. The M5 bumper from wagon will require relocating the air compressor that pumps air bags. Also you'd have to figure things out with exhaust pipe.
Find on IG @e61n54 . He's installed rear M5 wagon bumper.
