Adding a 2005 4.8is Body Kit to a 2005 X5 3.0i
 

Can someone please list all the parts needed to add a 4.8is Body Kit to a 2005 X5 3.0i. If someone knows of an article that describes how to do the installation, please post it.. Also if someone has photos of the conversion (4.8is body kit on a 3.0i), please post the photos.

I KNOW THE INSTALLATION PROCESSES IS ON THE ARTICLE PART OF THE FORUM BUT ONLY SHOWING THAT IT WAS INSTALLED ON A 2003. IT ALSO LIST THE PRICE I THINK ITS GOING FOR 850 DOLLARS SHIPPED IF YOU GET THIS ON YOUR TRUCK PLEASE LET ME KNOW CAUSE IM DYING TO INSTALL THIS ON MY 05 3.0I.

contact morristown BMW (forum member) for price. They have best price I've seen - i think $575 for the 4.6 front and rear total +$75 shipping. Not sure what the 4.8 is, I know the rear is the same its just the front that's different so price shouldn't be that much more.

What's the main differences between the 4.6 kit and 4.8 rear?

for the Rear it remain the same. ( the player had change but the game stay the same)

any big differences in the front?

Hey, I see the two parts I need to get to fix my snafu.....did you have to have those parts painted?

Yes. painted by my body shop.

If your X5 is 2003 and before, it is much easier to have 4.6is kit and if it is 2004 and after go with 4.8is kit.

does this means i CANT put 4.6is front kit on a 2004?

im planning to get the 4.6 fronts and then just paint the rears...

Yup... You need 4.8is front bumper.:nanana:

thanks for the reply Tom, i guess i have to settle with decorative skid plate then...

Thats exactly what im doing im putting the skid plate on the front and the 4.6 on the rear
