[Q] Part No. for '04+ OEM decorative skid plated
 

IMHO this rounds out and thickens the nose of the OEM bumper cover/moulding which I personally find to be a bit skimpy when compared to the front of a CayanneS for example.

I wasn't aware that this part was available for the later model X5 but according to this image of Rob_'s X5 it is. Curious if anyone has a part no. as my dealer has grown incompitent since they were taken over by BMW corporate..

Thanks,
Josh

Also call Creiver BMW ask for Vaheh - though he is about 5%+ more on his wholesale prices.

If I add the 4.6/4.8 front spoiler, will this part still fit???

I highly doubt it
 

Thanks again...

I'm going to repaint all the facelift parts and this piece to body, will post pics in a few weeks.

Somewhere in this thread, somebody says the plastic skid plate won't fit the 4.6 and 4.8is models.

Description for the item states it needs to be painted - what color does it come from the factory?? All the ones I have ever seen have been titanium (silver), so I was just wondering if this was the production color of it or is it just a coincidence that silver is the only color I have seen.

The other reason for asking this is I am trying to decide since I have a white X, whether I would keep it silver to make it look like it is metallic or paint it white to match the vehicle - obviously I have some concerns painting it white with it being located up front and under the vehicle.

For what its worth I think you should keep it the same as body colour, I dont think it will look 'mettallic' just tacky . Also suggest you 3M it after.
