2016 X5M Side Vents Please Help Me Find a Set

bigredfan · 01-24-2017, 01:58 PM

Looking for Carbon Fiber X5M side vents that do not require "clipping or taping". If anyone knows where to pick them up let me know please. Also any insight on installation would be great.

Long time lurker and now a proud 2106 X5M OWNER! Donington Grey w/ Mugello full red interior. Executive dealer car, 8,000 miles. $25k off Sticker. Still qualifies for government tax incentive too!

He must have seen them on the F15 forum and doesn't realize the F85 doesn't need to "clipped and taped".

That's what I thought too. Let's wait for his answer.

That is what I did! The X5 needs clipped and taped the X5M does not. I see now! Thank you for the info. Much appreciated. Expensive little devils!

For the price, you will get the CF. While at the same price, you will only get the Gloss Black BMW M Performance parts.
