United Kingdom X5?

I looked at this item on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...549936829&rd=1

His description says its off a 2005 3.0i. Does BMW offer the 4.8is body kit on the 3.0i over there?

Just interested becasue it would save me some money by purchasing this from the seller.

I have seen plenty of 3.0 X5's here, but none of them with that style bumper. Maybe a sport option? Sounds like a good buy anyway...

So is the bumper the same as the 4.8is bumper? DO you have more pictures? I wonder if it will fit.

It is a 4.6is kit, not a 4.8is.

This item is fishy...
He says it came off a 2005. But that looks more like a 4.6is with the exhaust and bumpers. I don't know if this is just a option overseas...

I wouldn't mess with that, especially since it's from overseas. The pictures that are shown are clearly pre-2004, at least the front since the rears are unchanged.

If you want to upgrade your 2004 (facelifted) X5, page BreytonX5 or Wuzin who are just a couple of people who come to mind who have added the 4.8is kit to their 4.4's.
