X6M Bumper Retrofit

Does anyone know if the X6M bumper can be retrofitted using the stock X6 35i fenders? I also ordered the X6M wheel arches/flares. I know many people have replaced the stock fenders with M fenders as well but I don't want to spend the extra $$ (part, paint, liner etc.) and I dislike the M badge on the side. I've seen the X5M conversion work with stock fenders but I can't find any info on the X6M. Cheers!

Rear bumper won't work due to different exhaust.

Ya I figured.

If anyone is wondering, you don't need to replace the fenders to do this conversion. I bought the bumper, all the trim pieces and fender flares to do this retrofit. Pics coming soon . Air ducts cutting and a bit shaving is required to line up the bumper.

Hey, I'm from Toronto too.

May I ask how much it costed for the front bumper conversion? I've been looking to do this as well.

Did you buy an OEM X6M bumper or a replica aftermarket one?

I bought from dealer. Probably will require a lot of work to fit aftermarket. Parts alone I think $3000 - $3500 (including all trim pieces). Install was around $1500 depending on quality of paint and fitment.
