Great job, looks original from factory
Are the new exterior ///M parts an easy swap? sometimes fitting an M original exterior part like bumpers are not 100% compatible with the non M car Love the interior too, congrats

Thank Motex
No, the OEM exterior parts from X5M are not compatible for non M the fenders are wider, and the underside is different It's a special Chinese body kit for non-M models (bumper) |

Well, for being a knock-off Chinese product, it looks great from your pictures, can you supply their link just to see what else they make

I do not recommend the Chinese seller, lots of promises, but the parts took more than 4 months to arrive and some were missing. The seller is a scammer, he no longer responds to my messages. I had to buy some parts from BMW!
@[espressoo] : the exhaust tips received are not compatible with my X5 45e... another promise from the seller! I had to cut them out and redo the tube to measure Here is the delivered model: |

nicodep - Great job!
Are the textragon inserts replacements of the stock or overlays? Was trying to find a DIY in hopes that changing out the trim would not require pulling door trim off nor the dash... What was your experience? |

No official guide, you have to look for videos on the internet.
Nothing complicated, by looking at the parts it is easy to find where the screws are! |
