'08 Aero Dynamic Body Kit
 

I am planning to upgrade my '08 X5 3.0si with the Aero Dynamic Body Kit. I went to BMW Seattle this morning and ask them for the price. Here is what I got:
The Kit: 1300$
The Paint: 800$
Assembly Fees: 400$
Tota: 2500$

My car is now in Seattle. I don't know if this is a good deal that they are offering me. I am wondering if any one happen to know a good and cheap place to get the Body Kit done in Seattle or nearby city (Example: Vancouver, Porland, ...)

Thank a lot for your help,

Get a few quotes. I had an offer for $3600 and an offer for $2300 installed (my lowest I found) so it depends on how much the dealer wants to gouge you. As stated in other threads here, it's only a 1hr job if you do it yourself - just get it ordered and painted if you want to save some money. Some have gotten it installed for only $1500. Get a few quotes.

after a few days of running up and down, dealership to dealership, this is what i came up with.

AeroKit = $1150 - 10% BMWCCA discount = $1050.00

The BMW dealer doesn't have a body shop on site so they give it to a third party body shop to paint, so the BMW dealer was going to charge $900 (cost of painting + bmw dealer mark up) to paint but my CA adviced me to take the parts to the bodyshop myself pay for the painting seperately. Turned out to cost only $350 for painting all 6 pieces ( yes, it's in 6 different pieces)

Once painted, i took the parts back over to the BMW dealer for install, told them to look at the instructions one more time since it only state 1 hour for install. After a few hours, the dealer called me back and said it will only cost me $320 (instead of the original $1200.00) to install including cost for Betalink (glue).

24 hours later, picking up the car today. Will post pics with the Aero Kit.

1050 + 320 + 320 = $1700 installed.

can't beat that deal.

I just asked my dealer today (BMW of Sterling). His quote was $1195 and he gave me the number of a shop to ask for labor because they do not do it anymore.

The interesting part is that he told me that I do not need to paint it because it come painted already in my color which is Space Grey. I doubt he knew what he was talking about. Anyway the part number he gave me was 51190413824 do you think there is any chance it come prepainted?

@tjnptel1: do you happen to have the pictures of those six pieces. I am planning to get it install by my self since a lot of people (also rh71) said that it is very to be done.

If you happen to have the install manual with you, could you please give me few shots of those. Thank you very much, Appreciate it.

@nikos: From what they told me, I am pretty sure that it doesn't come painted. The kits come in the color of black plastic which is not shiny. And of course, our main purpose is to get a shiny body kit which will make the front and the back of the car ourstanding.

awdnut did it himself here:

I don't have pics of the actual pieces themself, however i will post close up pics of everything tonight once i get the car back.

The install instructions can be found here:

If you have any mechanical skills (which i have none of) then i can't imagine it being very hard.

This is so helpful. Once again this forum is worth it's weight in gold.

is this the same kit??

all that's left is just to get it installed..

Yes, that's the same kit but that eBay seller's option is EXPENSIVE!!! $1900 + $250 shipping plus you still have to get it installed...

948.00 FOR KIT.300.00 FOR PAINT 300.00 INSTALL. I PAID FOR THE PARTS. I DID NOT PAY FOR THE PAINT OR LABOR YET. SO I CAN LET YOU KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE.

Is your Caps Lock stuck again?

here in germany the kit costs 900€ + 300€ for painting. the installation costs are variating between dealers

895.00 KIT 300.00 PAINT & 300 INSTALL

Where did you get the kit for $895? Was this a discounted as part of a car purchase or where you able to just get this price? I'm looking for it. That's the best price I've heard. Please share :)

Morristown BMW gives xoutpost.com members a discount - they have an accessories forum here: http://www.xoutpost.com/accessories-f...namic-kit.html

I've ordered twice from them and they've come through.

The Kit: 1195 $
The Paint: 250$
Assembly Fees: 480$

Thanxs!

I have a brand new factory BMW aero kit for the E70 X5 that I will sell for $895 shipped in the USA. It is part # 51190413824 and it primed and ready to be painted.

Dude, you can get it for $900 bucks shipped in some websites in the USA...

Just got mine. I negotiated with a dealer here in Denver to match the price I found on the internet at www.getBMWparts.com i.e. $890+tax and paid a 3rd party paint shop to paint and install for $400 (tax included). Therefore I paid around $1,400 for everything. For this price they also installed my 4 new wheel extension archs for me too. They handle all the paint and collision for Murray Motors and Ralph Schomp BMW. I believe I got a good deal. BTW thank you RH71 for the information on the wheel arches. :thumbup:
