G-05 X5 45e x-line to X5m
Got a great deal on a 2021 X5 45e in early 2022. Has every interior option but was missing on the styling. Tried to find some to make it look more aggressive. Stated with black grill, add 12mm front & 15 mm rear spacers. Then I found this kit and decided to take a shot.
Here are the results: Start End: |

This looks nice. Can you share details on the kit?
X-line looks have never been appealing to me. I wonder what the sales volume is on the X-line vs. MSport? I'm sure the kit and install wiped out any savings on the original purchase and then some.

Thanks all for the appreciation.
I actually ordered the kit aftermarket from a seller on alibabba. Kit came with front bumper, all accessories, fog light delete connection, x5m fender arches and rear bumper with all accessories. Also came with black slip on exhaust tips but they don't currently fit the stock exhaust. I purchased the M sport rocker panels from FC euro. All in with parts, shipping, install, and paint was $5K. I would say fitment is about 95% perfect. There are some minor gap issues that a good custom shop could probably get perfect with a lil work. All in all I am very happy with the fit and finish. link to the kit that I bought https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...189494808.html Last edited by tsim1133; 09-07-2022 at 03:13 PM..

I got a great deal with low mileage and the Kit was 5K all in installed. With the short supply and super long build times I am still under what a new M sport with my packages. I got super lucky.

https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...189494808.html Fitment was great for an aftermarket kit. Shop that installed it was shocked at how good of a fit it was. 95% perfect in my book. |

Update.
One issue I am currently working is with the ACC cruise radar sensor. There is an issue with the M bumper and the Air flaps on the 45e. Current correction is to order the X5M actual bracket and see if that works. This does not affect the driving only the cruise radar and the frontal warning system. I will update when it get fixed in a couple weeks once the parts come in. |

I like the look, but spacer in front always make me nervous. Wheels gets pushed further out, a term called "scrub radius" is in creased toward positive side. Any change in car's handling behavior? Such as effort to turn wheel, ability to track straight, ability to return to center?

Hi tsim1133
Thank you for your explanations about this kit, so I just put it on my X5 45e Same problem as you for the exhausts, you have to weld and adapt the tips Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials, the fit is almost perfect! |
