I noticed the OEM is made by NAANTE... did a quick search and found they sell them separately without all slides just the BMW logo (not updated logo like OEM) and not in a BMW box. $43 on eBay. Don't make the same mistake I made... don't order the X5 version... you need the new 3 series. They are identical to the OEM, swapped out their slide for the OEM and saved myself some cash for other mods.

Thanks for the info. Says on ebay that you "Can change to other logo or type design freely:, but it doesn't come with other logos? Interested in the M logo for my F85. You said don't order the X5 version . Am I missing something? Why wouldn't I get the X5 version for an X5?

I originally ordered the X5 and it did not fit. My guess it's for the previous X5 model. The one they have listed as the New 3 series is what fits all current models.

Looks like BMW sells the slides by themselves too.

Imo, the 15mm on the fronts stick out too much.

Agreed I'm going to take them off and just do spacers in the back.

I bought two sets a couple years, put it on, didn't really like it.

I actually bought four today for front and back...

I should have really returned it.

Is it the wheel or the big brakes that makes them stick out more over the regular F15 wheel?

Actually, they were towing two Suburbans when I arrived that day. I went and talked to the supervisor to make sure that my reservation was OK.

Here are some recent pictures of mine. Running H&R VTF springs with OEM 612M wheels. I have 15mm spacers in the front, and 20mm spacers in the rear

I plan on wrapping my car soon possibly a white or a deep blue, but was wondering has anyone ever tried doing this mod or custom wrap to the grill

Are you referring to the kidney grills? if so, I am not sure this would feasible.
I was debating wrapping satin black, but it's quite an endeavor.
Better speak to a knowledgeable professional.

Think he's talking about the bar under the grill where the license plate is mounted as it seems to be pshopped in his pics

Aha, the M front bumper has better-defined plate bumper piece.
I wanted to do mine too...just did not know where to end w/o looking bad.
It can certainly look good.

Just installed MPE & H&R VTF with 15mm spacers.
