ive always wanted to have the wide archs but never wanted to pay the $500.00 for them so this is what i did.
i got a 4.8 kit front and rear bumpers and running boards off x5 world for my 01 (doing the face lift). i wanted wide wheel arch the problem that i had was the archs i got with the kit didnt have running boards i didnt want to give them up. so this is what i did
first i removed the wide arch (clips are on the in side and just pop off)
then i used the old trim to mark were the holes need to go
then i took a drill and drilled them out put the new wide arch on with the same clips and your done ... its about a 30-45 min mod.
i will post pics of them on my x5 when its all done 2001 x5 with face lift and 4.8 kit.
