I don't know if it'll bolt right up or not, but the problem with doing this in my opinion is that the gray unpainted plastic bits don't line up and it looks weird.

Yeah I was gonna say.... you'll need to find a pre-LCI Msport bumper or do a complete front end swap. the line where the bumper on the LCI is not the same as the pre-LCI which is black or body color plastic.

Yep, you'll need the bumper, new fenders, and new fender flares. It works, but is expensive.

alright guys thanks. I didn't realize you needed new fenders as well for the M-sport.
I thought it was only for the X5M. Was hoping it was a direct swap.

ok thanks. I prefer the MSport on the LCI model over the Pre-LCI.

If they made a lip for this bumper I would do the conversion in a heartbeat.
