X5M Bumper finally installed!

Any updates on the DIY?

I have a 2013 LCI X5D. I have removed the front bumper cover in the past to install an aftermarket intercooler. If i'm comfortable in removing the bumper, are the fenders needing to changed out if I'm already LCI? thanks

The X5m fenders are different. X5's with M Sport package have that same fenders

Unless heavy modifications were done this looks like a replica x5m bumper available for an lci model on ebay. I think he meant swapping out the plastic fender flares for painted not the front quarter panel / fender. Those are not x5m headlights, the ends taper off like an LCI.

That being said, fitment looks pretty good! makes me want to do it, nice work.

If he is me, i did mean the fenders. I do realize the flares should be matched to body color too.

Referring to OP, sorry for the confusion.

I went to the OP's mod page (it's in his signature). He has pictures with the fitup of unpainted bumper cover with the fenders in primer. So, he did change the fenders.

Thanks for the pointer, I see now. But they still aren't x5m fenders. Wonder if it is this kit - https://marsperformance.com.au/X5M-s...W-E70-X5-07-10
