Wheel arch extension kit

[8ball]

Does anyone know how much would a dealer more or less charge to install a wheel arch extension kit in Florida on an 07 X5?
Thanks!

I'm in Afghanistan and not by a phone at this time. Figured this would be qiucker than going on line and waiting for a dealer to respond back. Plus gives me something to read too

I ordered it online and installed it myself. Doesn't take more than 10 minutes to remove the existing arch and install the new one. All you need is a rivet gun.

Cool thanks so the kit comes with all the hardware to install and instructions? I'm planning on ordering it from a BMW dealership. About the rivet gun, is that something an auto parts store normally has? By the way it sounds I'll just install them myself when I get back, I thought it was like a day process and since I'm short on time when I go home I was just going to have the wife take it to the dealer.

Not all guns would work. I used this:NAPAONLINE
The kit comes with rivets and everything else that you need. Instructions can be found here: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-retrofit.html

Hey thanks, you saved me some money

To clarify it's more like 10 minutes per arch, if you're experienced already. Make sure the kit comes with the plastic rivets too - and sometimes they don't include enough. I had to pick some up at the dealer who graciously finished the job for me.

LOL! I'm sure it will take me more the 10 min per arch, but it doesn't sound too hard. I'll make sure and ask about the rivets too when ordering, Thanks!

Anyone knows who's got the best price on this kit?
Used to be about $150. Morrison BMW now quotes me $300.
