sorry to be the bearer of bad news, that is not the arches. Its like an extra mud flap cover for the aero kit. it wont even fit the other x5's

do a search of you part no on here.

I would go get your $$ back :)

Its an upgrade (flared arch) thats fitted as part of theBMW 20" wheel & wider tyre upgrade option - seen them on a few E53's, without them the tyres protrudes from the standard arch - with them I think the tyres sit in to far hence looking for the wheel spacers to enhance the look. Thx for the attachment but like the guy says its hardly of any use. Also need to remove the std rear mudflaps for them to fit but you can also get the new mudflaps to suit, Im leaving them of for now.

its actually just a mud guard for the aero kit. Its not the flared arches. the flared arches are an entirely different part no.

OZ is right in what he is saying. these are the flares I fitted Fender Flare Retrofit Kit - 51710398336 which are off the Special Edition 3.0d we didn't get in Aus. Also the 10.5" rim has only a .5mm different offset to a 11" ( gen BMW rims )

hunter :) we did get the special edition 3.0d

I know, because i was looking at 2 of them. 2006, one was lemans , one was black. Both had the stock 20's with the flare kit ( no body kit )

Got the 25 mm spacers fitted all round, had the wheels done in black metallic, just waiting on flares and all done.

black metallic????? gary glitter
