Redline. I never bothered to use the 2 way tape as the screws really should be sufficient to hold it on. Its not heavy and doesnt move anyhow so the 3 top screws should be fine

Im about to put a new factory hitch on my x in next few months but i hope i dont run into your issues.

They call it "decorative skid plate" for a reason

I made the hole but can't understand what holds the rubber grommets in the hole. I mean it does not seem to be the expanding type of grommet. The other thing is that the grommet does not fit in all the way. Perhaps I did not drill deep enough.

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!

Nice find, how long ago did you buy the skid plate? They are no longer in production from BMW so its now a rare piece!

It's on pre-facelift. Painted Silver. Installed on the X for about 2 months then removed to put the SAV back to stock for sale.
Kristophe, it will fit your X for sure.
Kayufa, it's painted Silver which match your car but I'm not sure about fitment for facelift X5.

PM me your best offer, shipping would be ~$30

On the car
