M Performance side skirt decal

rptam1 · 10-03-2018, 03:10 PM

Has anyone added the black M Performance side skirt decal to the bottom of the X5? Where did you purchase it and was it difficult to apply? thanks in advance.

A lot of people have added the decals.

Here's where I'd buy it, unless your local dealer has a better deal since you wouldn't have shipping to pay for.

Thank you. Can you apply by yourself or a 2 person job?

Two person is better so don't screw the decal. Better yet I did mine at a shop...

I added them. Bought them through my local dealer - they gave me a discount. Had a local detail shop install them.

Looks good. It doesn't look like a boy racer at all.

Looks better on a white/light-colored X5.

I had this and ended up removing it. My SAV is white with lots of gloss black, the matte black running trim just didn't look right to me. I ended up going with RW Carbon side skirts painted gloss black (vs CF). That broke up the monotony for me and makes it look even lower.

The blue in the BMW logo and the red of the tail light work well with the M colors on this black and white layout. Good graphic design kung-fu.

Bought mine on eBay for 35$, had to cut a little in the front to make it more round, happy with the outcome.

bought mine at bmwpartspros.com, I screwed up the first time so I ended up buying again. I would suggest get a rubberized squeegee and helper.

IMO, this thing is not that easy to install..

Just wondering how these decals held up over time
