Yes, look at my photos above for the rear and side pieces. I believe the eBay $600 kit comes with rear and side as well. Or BMW OEM kit for $2500.
Would the kit work with a 35i? Our rear exhaust is different (small wimpy lookin circles instead of the beefier lookin exhaust tip)

Also, do you know of anyone successful with a conversion away from the wimpy circle exhaust tips?
Yes, you will be happy to hear that either kit comes with the large tips for 35i. Everything you need is included.

A few members did it for their 35i.
Can you confirm that these are the kits?

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F391952412038

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F372178718035
Correct.

Also, eBay has 13% Ebay bucks back until the 13th. Google for details.
Thanks!
Looks like this is gonna be an early Father's day gift to myself! Lol

The rear came in today and also the paint. If anyone decides on color matching the kit then you should definitely get 66 color's glamour gloss coat. I haven't seen anything like it. It's coats your work like glass.. it looks like a pro painted it. Photos doesn't do it justice.

Looks great!
Did your kit not come with the exhaust tips or did you not want to cut and attach the trapezoidal ones?

It came with them. I'm plan to get them painted first then installed.

I am super happy to come across this forum.
Picking up my 2016 BMW X5 xdrive40e next week for the wife daily driver. But exactly what I wanted to do. Already purchases the grill and a few other accessories. Ordering the diffuser and lip as well. Can anyone share a link of the fender flare?

Hey, there aren't any clips with the kit, and you don't need any.

You will have to remove the bottom cover. There are a bunch of screws that are holding it.

Seems like front lip is out of stock, my wife got a little curb touching accident last night so want to switch. Any other resources I can get this front lip from? Or just this one ebay seller?

Hey, I got my kit and am ordering paint, did you have to do any sanding to get your results? I don't mind using the aerosols, just never done any wet sanding like the website says.

If you want the paint to stick better and last longer, sanding is highly recommended.

Any tips or advice for removing just this stainless steel trim piece? I must have hit a rock or some debris on the road, as I have a small indentation that I want to try to smooth out.

I haven't been able to find any guides for removing this piece or the lower apron/valance.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I still have the old silver piece stashed away at my shop. I will try to stop by there tonight, and see if I can't get some pictures of it. Might help with removal.

In case you still are trying to take it off, I finally had time to go to my shop.
My center piece is black, but otherwise it should be the same.
Might be easier to reach the clips, with bumper off. I seem to recall it was a pita to get the whole lower piece to come off the bumper.
