Great job, looks original from factory
Are the new exterior ///M parts an easy swap? sometimes fitting an M original exterior part like bumpers are not 100% compatible with the non M car
Love the interior too, congrats
03-25-2023
Thank Motex

No, the OEM exterior parts from X5M are not compatible for non M
the fenders are wider, and the underside is different

It's a special Chinese body kit for non-M models (bumper)

Well, for being a knock-off Chinese product, it looks great from your pictures, can you supply their link just to see what else they make
03-25-2023
Fit and finish of that kit looks really good. Did you have to cut and weld the quad exhaust tips? Can you share where you purchased the tips from?
03-25-2023
I do not recommend the Chinese seller, lots of promises, but the parts took more than 4 months to arrive and some were missing. The seller is a scammer, he no longer responds to my messages. I had to buy some parts from BMW!

@[espressoo] : the exhaust tips received are not compatible with my X5 45e... another promise from the seller! I had to cut them out and redo the tube to measure

Here is the delivered model:

looks good, great work!

nicodep's user avatarnicodep - Great job!

Are the textragon inserts replacements of the stock or overlays? Was trying to find a DIY in hopes that changing out the trim would not require pulling door trim off nor the dash... What was your experience?

Well done!!

right on appreciate the pics! Fairly straight forward process? Is there a DIY guide your aware of to reference? Very well done. End result came out great.
04-06-2023
No official guide, you have to look for videos on the internet.

Nothing complicated, by looking at the parts it is easy to find where the screws are!

;)

This looks really good! How much did the kit run you and what type of modifications did you have to do to make it work on your X-Line?

Not a fan of tetragon interior, but the rest looks great!
Is the center B&W cover OEM or aftermarket?

Do you still have your interior trim pieces?

Hey man so I just bought one with this conversion but the person did not do the rocker panels. So do I just purchase the rocker panel?

Do I need anything else to make them fit?

Also did you how did you add the welcome carpet lighting I would like to add that as well?

Hope to hear from you soon :)

Thank you in advance!

Hello,
Nice car !

On mine, they are original BMW rocker panels, Sport model
they are compatible with the X5M kit.

I don't understand what light you are looking for ?
