E53 BMW OEM UNDERRIDE GUARD

[MANGO]

Selling my genuine OEM BMW Underride Guard for the BMW X5 E53 models.

For those who may not be familiar, this is an authentic BMW dealer provided item that was an optional enhancement to the E53 X5s that you can say was part of the "///M Performance" line before M Performance options were the well known thing they are today.

This is a No Longer Available discontinued item and it's well sought after by E53 owners.

I never got to install it since I was unable to locate the complete pieces of mounting hardware to do the install. I am sure they are out there ( I just never actively sought them out) and hopefully the buyer will have much better luck.

There is nothing wrong with the piece. It is strong, well built, and rigid. Again, for those unfamiliar with the piece, the flattened sections that you are seeing of the cross braces near the mounting holes are designed from the factory like that to clear the sub-frame sections under the X5 and really hug the sub-frame. The piece has the forward facing sections that is visible in the front machine polished to a chrome finish and the sections hidden under the car were left the brushed finished look.

This is not an imperfection and came from BMW factory like that.
There is no structural damage to the piece, no cracks, not wobbly, very clean, and free of residue, road debris, and oil.

This piece definitely gives the E53 X5s a completely different, more aggressive look once installed.
Selling it for $1,000.00 and unfortunately I have to be firm on the price since that is what it cost me to obtain it.
