Accident - Euro Bumper and Headlight Vs USA

So a friend of has a 2012 BMW M5. As many of you know, we are in the Dominican Republic, so most of the F10s down here are EURO Spec.

Anyway, he had a small accident with an idiot and is looking to QUICKLY replace his driver side headlight, grill, Hood and front bumper. Obviously, it would be much quicker to purchase from you guys in the USA (members classifieds), but I am terrified of receiving parts that will not fit on his EURO F10 M5. I am willing to help out to get his car up and running ASAP.

the last 7 of his vin is: DW94616.

WILL USA Headlight, hood and bumper work with his car? I heard beem pattern on headligth will be different. (he needs housing only - his ballast and module is intact).

Everything will fit perfectly, euro spec vs north american difference is minor only on some cosmetic things like reflectors etc...

Yeah agreed. Should all fit. Euro might have different crash beams underneath too, but likely won't affect the mounting of the bumper
