BMW E39 M5 Front Bumper Conversion DIY On A 1999 BMW 528i 

Wow that driver must love tailgating tractor trailers from the looks of the bumper. Go 528i!

for the fog lights to plug in you just need to buy the e46 fog lamp plugs from bmw cut off the stock e39 plugs and replace with the e46 ones and they work fine for some reason aftermarket companys use e46 fog lamps

I've got this bumper on my 01 530. Pretty good quality overall. The fitment by the wheel wells is short by about a half inch on both sides, ALL aftermarket M5 bumpers are like this. Did you need to trim back the air diverter "scoop" for the radiator on this model year, I certainly did. Also those wheel well liners can pretty easily tuck into the bumper edge, easier to do when the plastic is hot. Those fog light lenses will crack if you look at them wrong, super thin glass, both of mine cracked within 6 months. The cost vs appearance is definitely still a win for this set up, especially for 15+ year old cars who's going to drop $1000 for a factory painted bumper?

I am very happy with what you have to offer in terms of a car BMW serie 5 E39 , In fact, I have the same problems…thanks

how much does job cost ? and why dont u use camera stand (tripod) so u can film from 2-3m away...than u can work easier with both hands....

I have a question Nathan: I have a 2002 E39 525it with the sports package that I would like to retrofit this bumper into. Can I use my existing moulding rocker panel strips stips with PDC with this bumper? or would I have to drill holes into the strips that come with the bumper? The video was just great. Thanks!

great video thanks Nathan

Do I have to get an M5 carrier or will the 540 steel carrier fit the M5 bumper cover

One hand man.

I replaced the bumper with the m5 bumper on my old 528. I had to unfortunately shorten the bumper shocks. It looks like your fitment is really good. What brand did you go with ?

Hey what fog lights are those

I just got a m tech to bumper for my BMW 325xi sedan 2004 do I have to get brackets to make it stay in place or dose it fit perfectly ?need help ?

Was there a prob with air ducts

Where did you get the bumper

Where did you buy the bumper?

Hey Nathan, I have a question. It's not related to this video, but what is your opinion's on the BMW 6 series in the 80s? I know there old, and a lot are ragged, but some look okay. Would you recommend it? My next choice would be an e39. I'm mechanically inclined and do work myself btw, even if it's a bitch lol

Is the bumper guide bracket the same or does it use a deferent one?

Fog lights included or??

whered you get it?

Hi Nathan, I have a 2000 528i and would like to do the same conversion -- do you have a part number and estimated price

BMW E39 528i M52B28TU is it

I also have Oxford Green E39 1998 and just bought that bumper. I've seen your videos before but uncanny how related this one is to my car. It's also going in for paint soon so want to install the bumper first. Question, how are you dealing with the trim? The stock trim on my car has chrome top lines but the M5 bumper trim does not.

Great video Nathan.
