Yes it is the OE Bull Bar that looks like it curves into the bumper but they don't and never have tied into the tow hook mounts. Above I have posted a scan of the OE Installation instructions and you can see how they actually mount. I personally love the look, and if I still had my '08 I'd install. but they don't look right on the m-sport bumper that's on my 2013.
As mentioned, when I purchased this, the dealer had to search the country and even back to Germany, found one at another dealer, procured it and shipped it to me. Supposedly the last NEW OE bull bar in the world. And, this has never been installed on any X5, so it's still in the OE carton and wrapping too. Pelican and ECS are the only ones showing a price and with shipping (though I doubt they can get it) are both right around $212.00 using Trenton as a reference delivery point. I paid more than that when I bought this myself, but I'd go $200 shipped.
