Decorative Front Skid Plate
I would like to know where to find one of these for my X5. I am looking to spend the least money as possible for it, therefore I am looking for a great deal. I know they retail for $210. The cheapest I have found unpainted is $180 shipped to me from getBMWparts.com.

I purchased mine from
BMW X5 Exterior Accessories 2000-2006 at Dealerfit.com

I also paid $120 to a local body shop to have it painted (354 Titanium Silver).........

I just got off the phone with Morristown BMW and they told me $177 shipped to me. I live in Texas. Do you think this is the most inexpensive price for this front skid plate?

That's around what I paid after you incl the shipping cost ($160 + $18 for SH).

On the other hand, TI silver would be a good contrast with your wheels and running boards.
