X5 X6 flared wheel arches

hi people, does anybody know if the flared wheel arches are the same as each other from X5 to X6? Looking to purchase some used ones on eBay but people mainly list X5.
Thanks

X6 has flat wheel arches, no matter what wheels. There are no flared OEM available.

Because the X6 is manly enough (?) lol

The fender arches were the same, but I think the issue is that the rear extensions need to blend into the rear bumper, where the X6 i35 M package is too different than non-M package. Just a guess.

Anyway, not sure what this is.....

That is not OEM. F16 / F86 do not have flared fenders.

There's no oem option for the X6 as its wide as is its actually wider than a X5 with flared arches. You could go aftermarket but find a reputable seller as some have terrible fitment or you could go hamann flares which are high quality with perfect fitment but at 2300$ unpainted


Edit: not sure if they are still for sale

Ok China, but do the OEM x5 ones fit the x6, or are they different?
