Some love for the XLine!

We've had our xDr35i since 2018 and have kept it bone stock. After treating us so well for 90k+ miles now, we decided it was time for some simple mods.

First was an aero kit (front lip + rear diffuser):

Rear diffuser looked empty without MPE...

Clearly can't figure out how to post photos with the right orientation, hopefully next time. That's all the mods for now, thought I'd share!

There are OEM and aftermarket options - it's the aero kit for non M Sports. I went aftermarket and the fitment is great.

Glad to hear I could help! I've had the kit for maybe 2 years now, torn on what to do. Finally pulled the trigger and installed lol

Let me know if you need help getting the kit!

Do you mind sharing where you got it? I've been looking for the front, but they are out of stock everywhere I look.

Are you looking for OEM or aftermarket?
I have extras of both - they're always in and out of stock, so I picked up extras

MoeTE87 · 06-26-2023, 01:06 PM

e34brian How does the MPE sound?

I am interested in aftermarket. If you're willing to let one go, PM me. Thanks!

Awesome! In the cabin, it's very slightly louder than stock I'd say. Sounds like the original muffler when the valves are open, like on a cold start. Outside, it's noticeably louder, but nothing that would cause any unwanted attention. The YouTube clips I watched before buying it made me think it would be too loud, but not the case. I recommend it if you want a little bit more sound, but whether it's worth the $1k is up to you!

Do you happen to have the directions for the front spoiler? I am missing mine.

TIA

TIA

The instructions say to remove the front bumper I believe, but I was able to do it without removing it. If you're comfortable taking the front bumper off, there are a few Youtube videos.

However, I did it by removing the first few rivets from the fender liner and the lower mud guard-type plastic on each side to get the lower section off. I think it took me 1.5 hours or so playing around with it - wish I made a write up!

Do you still have extra aftermarket front lip for non sports for 2018 bmw x5 f15 ?

Yup! Send me a PM with your zip code and I'll get you a quote

esoj37 · 02-04-2024, 04:08 PM

Hi, do you still have the stock lip by any chance? My wife ran over a curb and its split in half. Or by any chance does anyone know the part number for the xline front lip, I cant find it anywhere.

I have original lip and center insert in the imperial blue metallic color, but I am in California. Part number is 51117397413, but you should verify it on realoem.

Thanks for the reply, bro. Is the OEM middle silver piece from the xline a different part number? Seems like it, maybe https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...l/51117397413/

RED_Y_ · 02-04-2024, 08:28 PM

I think part number for the lip is the same but I have luxury line so my front piece is blue, same color as my car.These are two different pieces one is the front lip p/n 51117397413 and then on top of it goes silver p/n 51117308016 or painted in the body color piece p/n 51127379419

Thanks for the help, bro. That small silver piece is around $600 bucks lol, i guess I'll just get her this instead, https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...n/51192364672/.

esoj37 · 02-04-2024, 09:08 PM

I guess that might be msport only lol.
