F95 Bumper on G05?

Commanderwiggin · 02-22-2022, 02:08 PM

Hey folks, curious if anyone has looked into converting a G05 bumper to an F95 X5M bumper. My wife's new 22 Msport 45e is due to arrive any day and it won't have the fog lights and personally really like the look of the X5M bumper better. The SUV will be completely debadged so not looking to blast it with ///M logos as it's not an ///M but would definitely be curious if the bumper can be swapped over.

You'll also need to replace the front wheel arches also since they're not the same design.

I haven't reviewed the mounting points on Air but if you've got the $$$ to sink into a conversion, be the first.

I'd be curious how it goes.

I wouldn't go about it, but I see a local ad selling the front bumper, rear bumper full assembly with diffuser and front and rear fender arches with M style exhaust tips for the equivalent of under US$3.5k unpainted, before assembly.

There 2 ways in doing this.

The proper way, which is expensive.

The mickey mouse way, which will be cheaper.
Meaning, all the ducting and bracing won't be replaced properly. Just jamming the bumper skin and screw it on.

Definitely all about doing things the right way with all associated parts and possibly fabricating my own if something was off. Either way I don't feel like leading this venture so hopefully someone has a go and then I can follow if it works out.

Yeah it would be amazing to see it if anyone ever pulled it off
