Alpine White Fender Flares

Someone please point me in the right direction. Our relatively base X5 is in need of help. I want to replace the black fender flares with alpine white fender flares to match cars...and will be going with 20" wheels. Can someone recommend a source for the flares, and also if there are any suggestions for spacers on the wheels? Thanks in advance!

Flare wise, lmk if you want me to source it for you.

http://thebmwminipartstore.com/ is the cheapest site I have seen.

You will have to get the primed fender and paint them locally. They will probably run $150 per fender to paint at a good shop.

Here are the part #s:

Front fenders - 51777378581 and 51777378582
Rear fenders - 51777378583 and 51777378584

Good luck!

Reviving this. Do you guys think flared stock black plastic fenders is a good idea or painted ones? I know the latter is more cost prohibitive.

I think painted will be better looking in person, but I would leave black plastic on black car only and only if it's good quality black plastic (which I suspect it's not)

Since I'm going with 20'' rims I may need to look into this as well. $170 for a flare is steep price, but I guess there's no alternatives eh? Comes down to $700 for 4 flares and around $500 for paint at least.

Do you guys think they do really add visually greatness?

The black plastic is the same material on the side skirts so it will be a match. I'd love to see an Alpine White with painted flared fenders but keeping the side skirt trim. Someone posted a picture of their flared black plastic ones and they looked pretty good.

Of course, you don't need flares if you're keeping your OEM wheel setup.

Are you planning upsizing wheels?

I already went from 18 OEM to 20 staggered. Now I need flares to complete the look. Just struggling to decide painted vs. stock black plastic.
