What lip is this? I've been looking for a good lip for our non-msport bumper.

Hi there, this is the official BMW aero kit for the non sport x5. Comes with front and rear lips as well as big tips if you have 35i ( I didn't need them since I have a 50i) and also roof spoiler. All bolt on, no cutting, works with trailer hitch as well.

I had my shop color match, it turned out very well and you don't see them around unlike regular or m sport f15s which are everywhere as you know. Very few people know about this kit. See this thread:

I have attached a few more photos here.

Hello everyone! Newest addition to the family '15 BMW X5. Its completely stock from the previous owner (we got the front windows tinted) but got some things planned.

You're greatly mistaken if you think OEM parts are NOT Chinese.

I'm thinking about adding the blue button because I heard or helps with cornering.

Actually a lot of the parts say 'Made in Germany' on them if you can believe that. Even my BMW keychain [that I bought from the dealer] says it's 'Made in Germany.'

DIY Carbon Fiber Front Splitter Repair Completed!!!

This was actually easy...just takes a lot of patience with the sanding and two part epoxy-resin clear coat molding time.

I usually take my cross bars off after the winter ends because I don't have anything to mount in the summer and when the sunroof is in vent mode or fully open, I can hear the racks whistling… but I had this 20% off coupon and some expiring store credit so instead I ended up buying this fairing for $12. I kind of like it and there is no more whistling when the sunroof is open, in fact it actually makes it all quite a bit quieter… so what do you guys think? Should I keep it on there?

Looks fine to me. I'd keep it, especially if it knocks down the wind noise.

Have I lost my eye sight or your corner trims differ in color?

Neither; the sun is shining on the driver side trim whereas the passenger side trim is in the shade. Both are plastidipped black.
