it could be done I think, it's just a matter of how much money you have/are willing to spend to have it custom fit

E38s are FAR too wide.

E38s are FAR too wide.

buy 2, cut one in half, cut a section out of the middle of the other one, put them together and you will have a wide enough bumper, can't guarantee it will look good if the proportions are off by too much, but it can be done

It appears they're calling it the "M7 bumper kit"

That is tight, it covers the top of the bumper also.

It's a new part entirely... He had it custom made.

Its a E38/M5 style bodykit offered on Ebay Germany. It is a whole front bumper, not just a cover that snaps on. It removes the front bump strips too.
