IND | First F90 M5 Euro Bumper in North America



European automotive manufacturers often have to alter certain components of the vehicles they produce in order to comply with USA DOT regulations. For decades, and much to the dismay of the enthusiast community, these changes sacrifice the form of the vehicle, leaving the job of sourcing the far sleeker Euro-market originals to only the most determined, rather than a widely available option.



Through the years, IND has made it a goal to make these European market parts readily available to our customers. With the launch of the new F90 M5, the mission that humbly began with the E9X M3 continues—we have proudly taken delivery of the first beautiful Euro M5 front bumper—and are incredibly excited to introduce a wider array of Euro parts in the near future.

Enjoy the photos and please contact an IND representative for any questions regarding parts for the F90 M5.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but at first glance it seems as if the European unit appears to be exactly the same as the North American unit minus the reflectors...

Lolz. Yep, thanks to IND for charging $1700 (before paint and shipping) for a reflector delete.

Apart from wasting money on something that only 0.001% of the worlds population will even notice, you also have to waste your limited time on earth, and thats priceless. 😅 I wonder how many of these they sell... 🤔

I thought it was my weak powers of observation. I’m glad others see what I do. Unless we are wrong, the reflector delete is the only difference?

They know some suckers will buy this just because of their name......but, yeah, it's effectively a reflector delete and nothing else.

EDIT: NECROTHREAD. Why reply 2 years later on this thread!
