Wow, cool! It was no modification for my dealer to fit it on. The airduffers right/left will not fit on E60. This will not fit on the left side (drivers side).. Sorry, but i have no pics of the job

1. If you call it OEM m5 bumper how come it fits our models without specific trimming as we know that M5 fenders are wider?
2. How fogs lights from our models could be fixed in this bumper without special fittings?

When I ordered the car in Germany through BMW Individual programme I specifically requested M5 bumper and mirrors.
The mirrors have been fitted but the bumper has been refused as the fenders' dimensions differ and nothing is previewed for the fog lights.

I should be getting the M5 bumper installed in about two weeks, just waiting for my race mesh to come in...I'll post some pics when I'm done and let you guys know how it fit....the bumper is straight off an M5..I bought it off someone who works at a local BMW dealership..

alpina, are you keeping the original fogs and refitting that into the airdams of the new M5 bumper of buying brand new fogs??

thanks!
