Aftermarket M5 Fender

I was looking for upgrades on some wheels. If anyone with a aftermarket can confirm the dimension and width of the aftermarket M5 fender that would awesome. I believe the dimension stay the same for the rear bumper as far as I can see, correct me if I'm wrong?

f10 width: 1860mm
f10 M5 width: 1891mm

if you plan on upgrading the fenders you will need to upgrade the front Bumper to an OEM M5 bumper. also keep in mind that there are M5 style front bumpers that retain the normal 5 series fenders.

I think you misread my question. I already have the full conversion. I was curious if the aftermarket M5 fender have a different width or is it the same width just different look.

I posted the width also, u didn't mention u already did the conversion. like I posted, which conversion did you do? OEM M5 w/ wider fenders? Or M5 style normal 5 series? Figure that out first.

I understand the OEM is wider. I have an after market kit completed kit with the fender also. I'm not sure if that fender is wider than the original or it just the same but with the M5 grilled lamp holes instead.

It's the same with holes for the grill vents. I have an aftermarket set installed on my 550i.

No one makes a full aftermarket m5 kit with wider fenders. Well there's actually 1 but they are a little on the shady side.

I can't speak for the front, but I believe it is identical (OEM vs aftermarket M5 Fender) You might have to measure yourself.

Here are the rear specs:
F10 Non M:


F10 M5:


I think the total width accounts for the mirrors so that 1" might be negligible.
