Dual slat kidney grille
Debaged side emblems
Plasti dip: X5 emblem
iND painted front and trunk roundels
Rear roof spoiler
Fender trim
M style mirror caps
Crystal start stop button
Sprayed exhaust tips gloss black
Plasti dip: Front side reflectors
Aero Kit
- Front lip splitter
- Rear diffuser
- Rear side wings
[COLOR="blue"]Shop:[/COLOR]
Powder coated rims
Painted calipers

Coming soon...
MPPK (since 17 months of warranty left)
Side skirt diffuser

Here are some dealer stock and my mod photos.
Can you post an installation guide for installing the front lip. I bought mine some time ago and have been having trouble installing it. Thx

basically it's just positioning the brackets you'll need to do some measurements. once the brackets are installed the splitter mounts to the bracket.

Actually ordered it from the uk site. They said eta would be 3-4 weeks but got it within a week. Did speak to a sales rep for maxton design in the states I think they are base out of Illinois. They can preorder BMW parts but he said it wouldn’t arrive in their inventory until their next shipment which is end of July beginning of August plus the price was $250.

UK site is selling the gloss black for $179. Shipping was a killer $86. Used a coupon code for the uk site and got 10% off. Ended up paying $245.

Slap in a set of 21s and you're done!

Meaning to ask you or if anyone else knows, for full screen CarPlay is it only a firmware update or is there more to it?

It's actually a patch which require a specific firmware range. Also if you update the firmware, you'll loose the patch.

I have the same kit installed to mine (what a bitxh that was to get it properly aligned) looking forward to seeing how the maxton sides look as these are next on my list. Plus I live in the same city maxton are based so I'm planning on taking a trip down to them soon.

Yeah the front splitter took a bit more time with positioning the brackets but all in all once them brackets were on it was pretty easy peasy from there


And with today’s gorgeous weather let’s get them side skirts installed.

I'm not a MW fan, but honestly, your mods actually make it look pretty good. Liking them all.

thanks. it's actually my first white color vehicle. only thing i dislike is the road tar and oil that builds up on the lower panels and undercarriage which is extremely visible on white paint. took a good amount of elbow grease to clean it to install the front, side and rear kits. on the bright side no need to worry about that anymore.
