The OEM lip for the non M-Sport bumper is $1,500!!! That's before shipping or anything. I'll have to look into it later.Īnd a little update on the whole lip situation. I usually use my bluetooth obd2 dongle and the Torque app running on a tablet to read and clear codes for my vehicles. I didn't even think to scan it for myself first. They said that the fuel tank wasn't pressurizing completely and it wasn't the fuel cap. They had to replace the pressure switch in the fuel tank. I would be thrilled to get an X5M as loaner. But, it would have been nice to get an upgrade, for once, to "entice" me to shop for something new. I partially think they gave me a stripped loaner last time to make me appreciate my loaded vehicles. You can both save time and minimize surprises by quickly scanning vehicle before to Service. Last but not least are the 3rd Party body kits from AC Schnitzer, Hamman, etc but that's for a different market.ĭid it clear before the first loaner was available?īest thing to do is get a copy of ISTA+. Notes: Same 100% replica as the M Sport bumper but for the X5M design Notes: These come with all the grills and are supposed to be a 100% direct fit replacement without the brand new OEM price. Unless you're desperate it looks like this is the one to avoid. They said "it would require modification" of the front lip. Also they would not confirm if the front lips that fit the OEM M Sport bumper would fit the Duramax bumper since it is not a 100% replica. Notes: Made out of fiberglass and needs holes drilled for parking sensors and does not come with grills. The other options are new or used OEM M Sport or X5M bumpers or you could go with Replicas on eBay. Kelleners Aero Package for X5 F15 Non M-Sport BumperĪvailability: Asia/Europe only but found 1 listing on eBay or the USĪnd that is it for front lips! That is unless you want the Pep Boys special "Universal Carbon Fiber Front Lips" I figured I would update this thread with what I found to maybe help save some people some time down the road. So after a couple of nights searching sites and using Google translate, I've come up pretty much empty as there are not many options at all for the Non M-Sport bumper people like me in the US. And PS, I have to drive the car too sometimes for the weekend roadtrips so I have to make sure it looks good too while I'm driving it! I don't think I'd be able to get away with a full wide body kit when all I was originally after was just a front lip. I wouldn't mind paying the extra $ for say something like a CF front lip but I guess I need the compatible bumper first! LOL I started reading up on the bumper conversion and it looks fairly straightforward except the additional costs of the grills and other pieces. I do like my Star Wars so the strom trooper look was a no brainer with this car. (sorry which one is Ben again? I'm still new here) The CF front lip will cost you a pretty penny as well.īut if that is what is going to make you, I mean you wife happy, I say go for it! Good luck! Getting a used M Sport bumper is going to cost you more $ for the additional parts since they are not interchangeable. There's a M Sport or Wide Body kit on FleaBay, enough said! Ya might want to hit up Ben to see if that is something he could get for you. I believe that kit is only available overseas. You're going for the storm trooper look I see. Thanks in advance and I look forward to participating in the bimmerpost community!Ĭongrats on the purchase. I saw this thread for an official BMW aero kit that looks to be a Russia exclusive? Has anyone been able to order one Stateside?Īre there any aftermarket front/rear lips for the regular old F15 without the M package? Has anyone made some kind of custom lip for this thing? I have not had any luck whatsoever trying to find one and it’s driving me crazy!Īt this point, if I can’t find a lip for the regular F15 35i, I may consider buying a used M sport front bumper to add a lip to which will be a much harder sell than me telling the wife that I am just getting her a front lip spoiler. I also really want to enhance the look of the bumpers of the X5 but I’m not seeing many options here for the non M sport model.
