Hey guys,

I used to have the M-Tech rear bumper. I just installed the M5 OEM rear bumper but there's nothing behind the diffuser hole in the middle. It doesn't look right at all. I believe their should be a black platic to hide it.
I think I'm missing the piece that goes behind it or should I get a custom made one?

Please see attached picture, the auto body shop has part # 6 but don't know how to install it.

Thanks for any help on this.

I'm sorry to have to say mine's the same as it come's like this!I don't know why they have left such a gap as it's crying out for a grille mesh of some sort.

The attachment you've posted #5 is what you need to cover that gap that shows the spare tire for our E60. There is an piece that attaches to that gap becuase i have it for my M rear bumper. I'll try to find out what that piece that is and i'll let you know, unless i forgot the piece i've ordered came with that cover.

As for the install on #6 it's actually pretty easy to install there are just slots where the piece goes into.

That's incorrect becuase i have the M5 rear and i got the piece from the dealer, I've pulled out the parts guy and showed him underneath an M5 and told him thats what i want and he found it for me. All i have to do now is remember if that part that covers the gap came with the attachment wawi attached (#5)

I will order #5. Hopefully that's what is missing to cover that gap....

Sorry WaWi for the misconfusion, I believe it's #6 not #5 sorry for the typo.
