Hey guys there is no real "exterior" section so I figured I would post here since I have seen numerous in here with m5 bumpers.

I was wondering what the best place to order an m5 style front bumper would be for my 2015 550xi. I do not want the foglights.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Phil. Here's a couple of threads to get you started. I was tempted to do it but couldn't live with the imperfect fitment as well as the 50-60mm difference in axle width (approx 25-30mm each side). There's a number of places to buy the fenders so perhaps you could PM the members in these threads to ask them specifically their experience, where they bought them, and how much they paid.

Hey thanks for the info man !

I wouldnt be wanting to swap out my fenders I would be looking to just do the M5 replica front bumper. I see trinity has one and so does mod bargains but they offer it with the fogs which doesnt look right IMO.

I can deal with a little fitment issue just nothing crazy

Since there's 2 versions if that's the route your going if it were me I'd go with the M5 front with the wider sides. ismet's post is a great example! Also just so you're aware some people think going M5 on a non M5 is a no-no

Where did you purchase?

At first, I wanted to put the whole M5 front end on my car but I decided against it and just went with the bumper. I didn't want people thinking I'm trying to make my car something it isn't, even though I truly like the M5 OEM wide look. If someone made OEM M5-like fenders but kept the non m5 side marker, I would combine it with the OEM M5 front bumper. That wasnt an option so I went with this:



It originally had no foglights but I swapped lower grills with someone who had a replica bumper that wanted the foglight delete.

Looks good if you ask me!

I have the same bumper and cant seem to find a front lip that works with the M5 rep bumpers, do you mind sharing where you got your lip from?

all the ebay vendors are saying this lip only fits the OEM M5 bumper and not replica. thx
