It doesn't really bother me, but I am in the middle of establishing a relationship with a local well-respected vinyl wrapper (pics of first project should be coming in a couple of weeks ;-) and will talk to them about that part. Carbon fibre look for that piece, right?

Finding a replacement CF rear diffuser for the G05 X5 with the tow package is likely to be tricky. Wrapping is an option, although it is a complex piece so it's not that cheap. In the meantime, here are few options, please vote or comment on your most favourite and your least favourite.

I'd go with 2 then 1. 2 has a subtle contrast. Going darker (3 or 4) make the diffuser looks recessed. But it could be completely different in person specially when viewed at different angles and lighting conditions.

Yes, it is a weird anti-feature and all the stick-on versions still have it. I would certainly have much preferred without it and it serves no purpose — the cover is solid metal, integrity would not even slightly be affected without the middle piece.

My wrapper really doesn't want to do that rear diffuser piece, the sharpness of its features apparently make it really hard. He is willing to do it and charge me accordingly, but just a bit apprehensive. And replacing it seems like too much work and there unlikely an aftermarket piece for the North America towing receiver setup. So no progress. If I were to ultimately do it, I would probably get both the current dark grey trim and the current white diffuser wrapped in grey carbon fibre to contrast both the white and the black exhaust covers. Thinking still and will aim to match with a likely carbon fibre front diffuser (so will wait until the front is on to match the rear wrap).

Great news! My 2020 X5 M Sport just arrived at the dealer and it looks like BMW has wisely changed the exhaust tip/cover to black! Anyone want to buy the EBay cover I had purchased to adhesive on to mine while awaiting delivery?
In other words, my new X5 was delivered with exhaust tips that look look like LexxM3's up above. Sorry, not sure how to add a photo! Last edited by OMAHAX5; 03-05-2020 at 04:49 PM.. |
