Yes. This is not for the faint of heart. It's like the (unicorn) Vorsteiner hood that's sought after by the E39 M5 guys.
In my quest to find the mounting hardware for this a while back, I found two out of the three. Unfortunately I had to pay an
additional $316.90 to get these in addition to what I've already paid for the guard. BMW sold these separately and the original owner of these passed on the cost to me. Clearly I needed them so I had no choice.
I'm also selling these by themselves and separately from the guard as I know some folks already have the guard but need the mounting hardware. Same price as I paid, $316.90.
The part numbers if you want to go after these yourself and not buy the lot that I have. Again, like the guard these are also discontinued and no longer available for obvious reasons. You may get lucky however:
51130028858
51130028859
51130302952
The first two part numbers are the actual individual sets of hardware. The last one is a bag o' bits of specialty washers, nuts, and bolts.
As you can see from the photos, I was not having any luck with the 3rd set of mounting hardware so I had begun mocking up the integral mounting points of the guard and the X5's sub-frame using cardboard.
If you're moderately handy as a weekend DIYer, you can fab the remaining brackets that are missing.
