Based on my research, the following parts are needed:
Description: BMW P/N
Power bulge X6M facelift aluminum hood: 41617275285
Nozzle Array Window:
61667275175 [CORRECTED FROM 61667257234 WHICH DOES NOT FIT!]
Cleaning System Hose: NOT NEEDED!
Stop buffer (qty. 2): 51237265310
Underhood insulation:
51487158420 NOT CORRECT! I've ordered 51487216990 but can't confirm yet that it is correct. I'll update as soon as it is received and verified!
Plastic Rivet (qty. 16) 51481915964
I plan on re-using all the mounting hardware from my existing hood, so that would be another additional list of parts if you wanted to go all-new. This should be a comprehensive list, but if I discover I missed anything before the project is complete, I'll update.
[UPDATE] All the mounting hardware transferred over EXCEPT the stop buffers. If you try to remove existing stop buffers, the embedded tabs brake off inside the old hood.
BTW, your M is gorgeous! Quick question, do the mud flaps help to reduce paint chipping? I'm going to have to have several areas resprayed soon due to this and might consider them along with the 3M or BMW Clear Bra and Fender protection kit. Thanks!
