I'm not aware if anyone has tried yet and you'd be the first, since the F95 and parts aren't up on at least two of the online catalogs - RealOEM and Bimmercat.
Most likely it should fit if the trim openings are the same. The X5M F95 air duct side trim are a bit longer but follow the same surfacing as G05 X5.

No no no no no! Even if it does fit leave it alone. Nothing worse than M parts added to non-Ms. Ruins an otherwise loverly car in its own right.

Yes they fit. I purchased from ind-distribution and installed myself. They look so much better than the stock side grilles. I removed the x5 ///m badge but don't pay any attention to what those people say about it being a non-m. it's your vehicle, you bought it, do what you want to it.

Similar to the G01 X3/4, there's an actual hole there. You'll need to pop 3 clamps at the points indicated.

Pictures would be awesome. Same for the X5M front grill you installed and mentioned on another thread. Thanks! |

Now I know I may take some heat for installing these on my Carbon Black 2020 X5 M50i but I think they look great and fit perfectly. 5 minute install. I may remove the X5M label. Wanted to ensure they fit first.

In the UK, people who impersonate M cars on non M cars have a very special name...
Absolutely nothing wrong with the vents, not my taste personally. I have horn style M mirror caps on mine, but please, remove the X5M badges |

Since I have already said that is my plan twice already now I'm not sure why you found your post necessary especially the first sentence. If you want to call me a name, go ahead dude, whatever....

Elitism at its best? Come on people, let’s be positive. Does it hurt anyone to put M parts on non-M cars? Does doing so somehow reduce the value of someone’s X5M? I didn’t think so, so what’s the problem. What does it matter? Honestly, from some of the reactions you see, you’d think that someone modifying their car with an oem part from a more expensive version caused physical harm to others.
If you’re in the camp that one should not modify one’s car to look like something it’s not, I hope you’re also in the camp where you don’t tint windows, fit aftermarket wheels or spacers, etc. Otherwise I cannot begin to understand the hypocrisy. This is a forum for people who own and love the cars, isn’t it? |

I am also interested to know where did you buy the vents from and where to get the decal you are considering

PS - Interestingly, unless one is looking at the vent at eye level from within a foot or two away, one cannot even see the "X5 M" on the vent because it's black. It's really just the stripes that are clearly visible. Having said that, I will be giving it a go to remove them anyway. Last edited by GlennC; 08-09-2020 at 05:28 AM.. |

Are you saying that's the price on IND? Are you referring to the prices that you mentioned as per piece or a set of 2? IND is at $395 + shipping -
The fact that they charge shipping for such a high priced item in this day and age is unfathomable but that's another topic for another day! |
