Remove Black Plastic Trim on Bumpers, side skirt and wheel arches
Hello, so I recently purchased an X5 xDrive50i. The one I purchased unfortunately didn't have the M Sport package or Dynamic Damper control. It's a "no line" x5 if I'm correct. I really do not like the look of the black plastic pieces on the bottom of the car. Does anyone know if I can just take them off and replace them ones painted in mineral white? If anyone knows the part numbers for the pieces it would be greatly appreciated if you could provide them. Here are pictures of the car so you can see what I'm talking about.

You would have to replace bumper covers and exhaust as well. Here is a kit to convert to msport body style.

Maybe take a look at the luxury line trim. It adds painted wheel arches, and body color panels on top of the black plastic pieces that hide probably 75% of the trim. Then you can keep your bumpers and exhaust.

I would be interested in this too. Where would you recommend getting a kit in Alpine White?

I did the exact mod 6 months ago (from xline to luxury line look). Bought the fender flares online through one of the sponsors here. Then took it to a local dealer and they matched the fender flares paint to my exterior. Paid $400 for the paint job alone but it was worth it. Good luck buddy.

It came with 18s. I swapped them out for 20s but still have the factory fenders.

I already have regular so I'd get the flared ones. Just can't decide whether I want the painted flared fenders or the black plastic flared ones to match the "no-line" model bumpers.

You can play with the configurator to see the differences. Last edited by spike5150; 07-26-2017 at 01:11 PM.. |

I think the black plastic looks better on space gray as opposed to any of the whites. I?m going to end up just doing the m sport conversion. I?ll probably just do the front and sides first and then do the rear and exhaust together down the road.
