Just make sure that you remind whomever you are ordering the parts through that you are converting a non-MSport to an MSport.

That said, the look of the car is completely different and I love it!. I have the M351 wheels, the MSport steering wheel (since my car is a sport model) and changed the grilles to the black gloss ones. No door sill plates yet, but I may not even bother since I don't have a black headliner or the adaptive suspension buttons.

If you do go OEM, be prepared to spend about $6k for all the parts plus up to $2500-$3000 if you go to a good shop for paint and installation.
Awesome! U should post some pictures! As for the rear bumper I know both the msport and m5 use the same bumper cover but different Diffusers. I've read numerous threads about it but did u notice anything different parts wise between both Diffusers?
