Hey guys, just did the LCI front on my x5m, it’s only the headlights, bumper, vents, grille support, carbon grille. At first I didn’t like the way the lci front looked but then it grew on me lol. To me it looks more aggressive than the pre lci. It wasn’t that difficult either. I also upgraded to a new carbon lip, R&W carbon side skirts, carbon rear side splitters, black and clear taillights.I also did 22 inch 2 piece brush aluminum forge wheels from Alibaba, I did MMR wheel stud conversion kit. I also have some other items I will post when I actually install them.

Wow! Looks great! I can imagine all the small pieces needed for this update on top of the panels, headlights, etc.

So, you got knock off wheels from Alibaba then added the HRE center caps? That's a pretty lame poser move dude! Otherwise it looks clean.
04-21-2026
Whoa!! Looks great! Def more aggressive, sharper angles!

wondering, what's the weight rating for each rim? They look CLEAN!

Yeah, I wouldn’t sleep well knowing my family is riding on alibaba wheels.

WTXRob's user avatarWTXRob honestly not as much as you think. I kept my hood, fenders, all the underneath plastics, all the clips and bolts were reused, front bumper reinforcement, both of the BSL radars, all the bumper sensors and wire harness. At first I was like wtf am I doing 🤦🏽‍♂️ 😂 then I said whatever! you only live once right lol

S68 X5MC's user avatarS68 X5MC how am I a lame poser? When I clearly stated where I got the wheels from. The center caps I originally I purchased haven’t arrived yet. That’s why the fake center caps are on my fake wheels. But what does it matter to you?? it’s my truck and my money..life is to short for the hate

Your the type to pay 4 times the amount from a drop shipper just to claim you bought it from them and not from china. Wake up dude it’s 2026 majority of the wheels are coming from china. Most of people’s upgrades are coming from china. So I sleep just fine… my bad dude your just too cool. Ya gotta stop with the hate on this app. This is why no one wants to post.

SWEET!!!

If AI is not lying half the weight of stock cast ones 809M, amazing results! Did the manufacturer present to you any certifications (TUV, JWL or VIA) and testing results (radial fatigue testing, cornering fatigue testing, and impact testing)?

I am considering a new set of wheels, and Vossens I liked were around 4k, so I am very curious to ask your supplier some questions and maybe shave some more weight of my X

No hate and I never mentioned china, I have no idea where they came from, who engineered them or tested them... Whatever floats your boat bro.
Now that you mention it, I am cool :dance:

Allow yourself to be yourself, and others to be others :)

yodabro's user avataryodabro majority of the sellers have all of the certificates on their website posted. They will help you with everything you need any test or video. Also They can send you videos of your wheels being made. They can engrave initials or anything on your wheels. They give you the option on the center caps. I picked bmw floating center caps but they got lost in transit. They get shipped separately.The hre center caps came with the wheels so I put them in til my new ones come in… I live in pothole city nyc lol and the wheels are holding up just fine.

Are they oem LCI headlights? You have Lasers before? Any coding needed? Looks well done.

yodabro's user avataryodabro all shit I’m from sunset lol we’re neighbors

jcm3's user avatarjcm3 yes I lost the lasers. but the led work great too. The headlights are not oem. They’re aftermarket and they are modified to the x5 so I won’t get any codes or anything
04-22-2026
jcm3's user avatarjcm3 thank you bro. My friend and I did the work so I take pride in it. I had a shop paint the front & blend it in with original paint by the beginning of the doors and it came out great can’t even tell.

Your X5M looks fantastic Man. Ignore the jealous ass clown. You have done a fine job with your M including the wheels. People who hate this way are losers that don't like themselves.

pizzamoney's user avatarpizzamoney hey, thank you bro I appreciate that! Respect!.. I worked very hard on my baby and spent a lot of 💰💰💰😭😂 so again I appreciate that…I’m too old to be going with the back and forth lol. My next upgrade will be my pistons and rods and everything in between. First I need to locate a shop near me.
