I definitely recommend you buy the 2000-2002 model (projector) fog light housings, as they throw the light INFINITELY better than the (bowl design) 2003-2006 have (sadly).
upgrade that before you even touch a bulb option.

Thanks guys. I really do love the color. It was actually listed as grey but when I saw the pictures I knew it wasn't. I've never been a fan of green cars but this color is amazing.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out the early model fogs.

No cold weather package but we don't get cold weather at Venice beach.

I'm gonna look deeper into the 4.8is flares. Looks like the best option for me.

Lemans Front, and LeMans rear.

If you want the 4.8iS bottom portions you would need to replace the lower trim part #'s with these. the iS lower rear portions are $150 apiece I believe, compared to the LeMans portions being $20 apiece.

51 12 7 046 919 -- REAR SUPPORT BUMPER TRIM, LEFT ------ 1
51 12 7 046 920 -- REAR SUPPORT BUMPER TRIM, RIGHT ----- 1


I would only fit iS rear flares if you already have the diffuser, the LeMans flares are for stock bumpers (no iS diffuser)

My X was owned by someone in Chino and was sold by the BMW dealership in Newport Beach. I found it odd and funny that it has both the cold weather package and summer package. The summer package makes sense, but who would need the cold weather package in SoCal???

I'm thankful, though...those heated seats and steering wheel are super nice in the chilly Seattle weather. And the back seat window shades are handy for our 2-3 months of sunny weather in the summer.

@THATDONFC whats the mileage price you got for that X?

Ok, I did a search, are other different ones for running boards and without? I don't want to add running boards.... Tia!

[Ricky Bobby]

I gave you all part numbers for non running board flares.
