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

[nicodep]

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

[espressoo]

Fit and finish of that kit looks really good. Did you have to cut and weld the quad exhaust tips? Can you share where you purchased the tips from?

[nicodep]

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:

looks good, great work!

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?

Well done!!

Hi, i have replace inserts with OEM Tetragon model, just need 2h to swap parts !

nicodep

right on appreciate the pics! Fairly straight forward process? Is there a DIY guide your aware of to reference? Very well done. End result came out great.

[nicodep]

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!

[rundeyvoo]

This looks really good! How much did the kit run you and what type of modifications did you have to do to make it work on your X-Line?

[nicodep]

Not a fan of tetragon interior, but the rest looks great!
Is the center B&W cover OEM or aftermarket?

[DKNICK]

Do you still have your interior trim pieces?
