Will this cover my fog light cutouts and bumper sensor holes?

The M5 bumper cover features an M5-style lower air intake design. Before purchase, confirm your vehicle's OEM fog light opening dimensions and sensor hole locations match the M5 layout — this will determine whether trimming or modification is needed during installation.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit and apply a quality automotive primer before your base coat and clear. This ensures proper adhesion and a professional finish. Follow your paint manufacturer's surface preparation guidelines for best results.

Is this compatible with the lower valance and splitter area?

The M5 styling includes specific geometry in the lower bumper section. Verify that any existing lower valance, splitter, or undertray components clear the M5 profile before final installation. Minor trimming of peripheral components may be necessary depending on your current setup.
