535/550 M Sport Package

The wife's car is 535 sport with all the options except the M package. I need to add the exterior bodywork parts to her car as it looks bad### on 5 series cars. Anyone out there have the part numbers and other relevant info on doing the switch? Appreciate it.

Bad### will cost $3,145.00 plus labor. Not worth it IMO.

You need to add in the cost of the M-Sport-specific wheels as well.

I appreciate the info and the parts breakdown as well as the input on the costs benefits. But I do have a unique situation in that I can afford to do the package but I cannot afford to trade this car in on a 2012 with the M Sport. This is actually a company car and it is not possible to trade for at least two more years. I plan to put the parts on the car and see what my wheels off of my e60 M5 look like on it. I currently have a spare set as I the BBS CHR wheels on it which are in a 20 inch size. Is the approx. 3K a retail or discounted figure?? I actually plan to leave the interior pretty much stock but add a better exhaust and a JB unit for a few more ponies. Thanks again for the help.

go to the website. Tischer prices beat all dealer prices, so it's a wholesale number, probably have to add shipping and tax too...but who knows what the labor is to put this back onto the car and then take it off again if you have to return it back to the way it came.

I paid 2/3 that price with paint and install from the front and rear bumper

It's not what you know it's who you know.

Hey Lacster,

Got my AW 535i last Thursday and this is a mod on the top of my list. I've already done 20% tint, led interior, hardwired radar, and sub install.

Can you give me some information on how to get this project done? I really only want to do the front bumper, but not real sure on where or how to start.

I can vouch for how good Lacster's car looks. Lacster, I was the guy at the SoCalEuro Gathering today down at Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego) who was asking you the questions about your car mods vs. stock M-Sport package. (I'm the guy that wants the M Sport Package in Deep Sea Blue but no can do.) Your car looks super, and just as good as a factory job... maybe better given the mods that you made with the reflector lights.

Nice meeting you yesterday! Can't wait to see some pics of you new purchase and your car will look sick with the M sport.

You'll be the first with Deep Sea Blue!

E60 wheels will not fit. About 30mm too aggressive. Tires may work though if they are 245.35.20 or 255.35.20 and 285.30.20

True. Except, if I pay the $5,500 for special order paint, I'm going with Le Mans Blue ! See you on the road.
