Question PAINTED DOOR MOLDINGS

I decided to get door moldings painted since I got tired of them fading too frequently even after Blackwow treatment.
I already checked a couple of threads saying that the parts are not reusable.
So I'm planing to order the primed door moldings which come with M-kit instead of stock moldings(not primed)

17 Molding, door, primed, front left 1 51137903857
17 Molding, door, primed, front right 1 51137903858
18 Molding, door, primed, rear left 1 51137903859
18 Molding, door, primed, rear right 1 51137903860
RealOEM.com BMW E70 X5 4.8i Retrofit, M aerodynamic kit

The issue is... actually I'm not sure whether those primed will fit my E70.
Has anyone tried already??

I'm sure they will fit. The only difference of course is that the M sport are primed. The doors on the M sport model and non sport are the same so there's no reason why they would not fit. I believe they are just glued on...

hhhm3 is an unknown quantity at this point
I had my molding painted to the same body color before an it was durable enough.
The body shop used a special flexible primer for molding.
It's been 10yrs and still looks good, a few chip but not noticeable much...
(endured hard winters and hot summers)

If you have the money you can order the primed molding but I would just reuse the existing ones.
