Hi, where to buy body kit for update X-line to M?

[nicodep]

Hi,
Body kit purchased from a Chinese seller... but to avoid he's a liar, parts were missing during delivery, and he promised me delivery several times and ultimately nothing!
I had to buy original parts from BMW to complete the kit!

Hi, Can you share the link where you bought the exhaust tips? Regards.

- Steering wheel //M buttons with driving mode changes

What a great job you've done, I take my hat off to you!!!

I need your help, I think I've followed all your steps but I still don't get a parking brake fault. Can you think of what it could be?

[Yoryino]

I had to solder the yellow one, I hope that didn't cause any problems.
For now I have solved it by returning the cable to its original state, do you have a diagram to check if the cable is correct?

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

Hey, did you try an OE bumper? All fenders are the same, just the flares are different. This thread showed differences.

The biggest waste of money I've seen on this site. Just go buy an M and call it a day.

Thank you for this comment !

1. We don't all have the means to pay for //M model ... high initial price + high daily fuel consumption and very expensive insurance !

2. I'm Living near Paris (do you know ? a small town located in France/ Europe !), where SUV are very poorly regarded.

I drive 60km/day in 5/7 days in full electric in town ... no noise, no pollution, the thermal engine is useful on the highway or on weekends.
A hybrid model is the best compromise for my use.

These are only mainly aesthetic modifications to have a nice look, I did most of the modifications myself. ... and I am very, very far from arriving at the price of an //M model !!

Hello there!!
I’m brand spankin new here.

That’s because I just purchased my wife a 2023 45e. Now we absolutely love the car but I can’t stand the (running board/ rocker panels) that being said I start searching and ended up here where I see you fine gentleman have already swapped these things.

(Now I have not read this thread entirely yet)

Is there any tips and tricks or links of where to purchase the kit. Or do I just find it on alibaba?
