The M aero kit for the 5 series is the same M5 bumper except it has fog lights.

No I have not but I have seen many cars with it done, and I rented a 5 series for a couple months which had the kit. It looks like an M5 both front and back except for the fog lights and the M5 Side grills

Im pretty sure its not possible to like a 5 series with a kit more then an M5. Its the same thing except the M5 has an ///M engine and more sportier.
Yes I did rent a 09 550 with an M kit but I didn't drive it much. I drove the rented Range Rover Supercharged

I don't know about the 5 series without the kit, but the rear with the kit is the same as the M5.

Except that it has two exhaust tips, not four.

And yes, it is possible to like the E60 more than the M5. I could have had either, but chose the 535i (with the M Sport package) because it is more reliable, more efficient, has greater range, and has plenty of performance for how I use it. Doesn't sound as good at high revs, though.
