Hey guys, I'm new here.
I have a 2007 E60 525
Before I make up my mind order M5 front Bumper, just wondering how can we hide the Fog light? ( we cant just cut it off,can we? since it might show error).
And for M5 rear bumper, how big modification should I do to make it fit for E60?
I heard that it is very complicated to install the m5 body kit ( front + rear bumpers + side skirts) onto a E60 as M5 chassis is lower than E60, once change E60 to M5 body kit, it changes everything. is that correct?
Cheers~~

I'm getting an M5 aero body kit put on my 2005 545i. I should be getting it sometime this week and I'll post some pics to let you know how it works out. As far as I know if you have BMW parts or a good retrofitted body kit, there shouldn't be any problems fitting it to your e60. I would try and unplug both fog lights to see what error it gives. I'm assuming no error will be given if the computer doesn't have a fog light to read...This is the kit I'm getting put on:

If you take out the foglight, it'll give you an error message cause the computer will keep checking to see if its availabe. There are ways to trick ur car to think fog lights are still there. You could try to install fogs onto the M5 bumper. It would be hot.



Good luck.
