X5M Front Bumper on 50i
I've been looking through BMW's part catalog and people have mentioned the 2011 M front bumper wouldn't fit on the 2011 50i. One of the reasons was the light are different. That affects the fender but when I parted both out they were the same lights, same fenders, same hood, just the bumper was different. So I wonder if I could easily put the M bumper on with the supplied hardware. Thoughts? I'm having my bumper refinished due to some damage and thinking just for a few hundred more $$ I can get the M bumper. Figure the cost to fix and refinish would be close in price of buying one new for them to light prep and paint.

I wondered the same thing myself. That bumper is awesome.

So with losing the fog lights, is there any error codes going to be thrown? And if so, how do you turn that error off? Can the dealer or do I have to get an aftermarket programmer?

It's unlikely there's a diagnostic code for fog lamps but it's feasible.
This might come in handy: http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/bmw/ but I don't see any codes associated with fog lamps. =8-)

If I understand it correctly, the X5M front end is pretty much an X6 front end. The Headlight, fenders, and bumpers are different from a standard X5.
Oh, I realized the X5 fenders are plastic. |
