MBPK Help

[randrews15]

Hey all,
I purchased the MPBK for my 2018 X5 and tried to start the install of the kit. However, I ran into some issue and wanted to see if anyone has done this. I noticed that the rear dust shields do not line up with the factory holes at all. Is this normal? It looks like the rear hub has to come off as well if I'm not mistaken. I also tried to test for the rotor and caliper. The caliper will line up with the bolt holes without the rotor in place, but once you put the rear rotor on I can't get the bolt holes to line up. This isn't my first time in doing brakes our mods to a car, so I'm at a loss as to what is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Rob

Believe they have to be cut. But they should line up to the holes

I would just cut the stock ones with some snips and move on with the install.

After some conversation with GetBMWparts, it looks like they sent me a kit for a F20/F30. I figured it out after cross reference all the part numbers into RealOEM. They said the dust shields were the wrong part and waiting on them to confirm that everything else was wrong. I'm hoping they make it right and send the right kit. At least I know I'm not losing my mind as I have done this type of work so many times.

Don't wait. Just cut the rears to fit the calipers. Much faster time and don't have to remove hub.

The whole kit is wrong. They're sending me a whole new kit. The kit they had sent me was for a 2/3 series and not for an X5. It should be here Tuesday and I can make sure it's done proper.
