I have a brand new in the box set of BMW M PERFORMANCE FROZEN BLACK SIDE DECALS for the G05 Body X5. I bought them and thought I was going to have them installed but changed my mind once I got them.

i am trying to find an installation for this one but seems hard. Do you know how to install this kit? I really do not want to drill holes on the body.

Drill? What? Perhaps humour doesn't quite make it through text even with a smilie.

These are decals. Use the "wet-method", using slightly soapy water in a spray bottle and a heat gun (only gentle, physically distanced heat). Clear surfaces thoroughly before starting, use diluted isopropanol (if you can find any now) as the final cleaning step and dry fully with microfibre before starting. When it sticks, if you ultimately end up with a few air bubbles, use a fine/sharp pin and heat gun to magically make the bubbles disappear (my first side had some bubbles, but the pin trick worked its magic 100%; my second side had no bubbles — one learns, my problem was the water was too soapy on the first side).

Oh, the other trick (or rather surprising fact) is that you actually wrap the decal around the door frame on the front doors. To my utter surprise, it stuck even then and never moved in 8 months, including winter. The instructions state to do so, but it was a nail biter surprise.

I'll try to find the PDF instructions, but they are only 30% useful, above is the other 70%.

It is just a "sticker" (decal), but it is attached to an angled part of the doors and that plus the grey/black colour scheme gives it the 3D look. It is hard to tell from the pics that it's just a decal, so that mistake is actually understandable. In any case, do not drill your doors :-).

Help requested

Hey Guys,

Would anyone happen to have the installation instructions for the lower sill decals?

The upper instructions proved extremely useful for the ‘positioning’ of the upper decals 👍
