Then I come on here, get a part number, back to them, and the first thing they ask is, Where did you get that information?...I never tell 'em...

Ha, ha, ha, the exact same situation wih me

I dont necessarily need the part numbers, (at the moment) I just want to know what I have to have...

Please?!?!

There are two part nos for this as Retro fits

Part No 51710398335 -
Part No 51710398336 -

One is with running boards the other without but both are the same price and fitting time, fitting instructions are on a pdf I posted under another thread shown as 'wheel arches pdf' - if you want. http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...w-shoes-2.html

The price I have been quoted in the past is approximately five hundred pounds, some dealers have quoted a thousand pounds but this is due to an error on the quantity number in the computer. I have had my dealer double check with BMW, DE and they confirm this.

This is for ALL the parts - front, rear and back bumper including fittings

The retro kit is under light alloy wheels in real oem

Nah, cheers for that mate..But this is exactly what I mean..I get scared asking this question because I never get one answer...usually three or four...

But that may be my fault..I never specified that I need the numbers for a facelifted model...I know some numbers differ between MY04's and pre-FL's, so maybe that why I get so many versions of the same answer..

But I only want to Arches..If I have to have RB's to get that, thats fine, but if I dont have to have them, that would be cool..

No you dont.

Trust me the numbers I have given you are for with or without runnning boards.

The part numbers are for the flared arch extension retro kit, Exactly the same if you ordered them for style 87 or 168 or any 20's ie it doesnt matter which model pre or post facelift.

These parts are the whole kit. These are what the dealers/BMW put on the le mans or the sports package with 20 inch wheels.

I spent a lot of time talking to dealers, and researching a choice for a bodykit one of my options was these arches. I chose the full ACS package in the end. look at the instructions I refer to/link and you will see what you get but trust me you dont have to have RB's.

The Kit is cheaper than buying seperately. In my link to Realoem it only refers to them in the list not in the picture but the instructions show all the bits to you. Then it will make more sense.
