I replaced all of my engine compartment components using OEM. Bought them all from FCPEuro and if they crack again, all I have to do is submit a warranty claim to FCP for free replacement parts.

...The install for the 3-Section across the top of the engine bay is easy and straight forward!

Replaced mine with the Chinese ones. Perfect figment. Looks like new now.

Windshield cowling leaks (from factory, not cracked)
Hi Guys,
I am new to the X5 world but have been working on my 2006 330i for a decade so not new to working on them. I picked up an almost off-CPO 2013 X5 35i a couple weeks ago and was doing a spark plug change last night and was about to take off the cowling under the windshield when it started to rain. Water was dripping on to the engine from where the side cowlings join the center cowling. I applied clear silicone to the join during the rain until it stopped dripping. I can verify that the cowling is a shitty design compared 3 series. The cowing is factory original, not cracked and it had the black factory sticky stuff holding the pieces together. It was dripping very near the MAF sensor wiring. Attached pictures with all the plastic removed to show where the leaks are occurring and a shot where I applied the silicone. If anyone's MAF sensor on a 35i keeps failing or throwing codes (or for anyone that wants to prevent future damage) you might want to have a buddy spray water on to the windshield as you watch the cowling for drips. |

i know this is kind of old... but i just recently did this with the $50 chinese panels.. they seem to fit well after i transferred over all the hardware. One question.. when you install the new panels there are smaller panels at the very edge of the side panels.. they seem to be made of hard rubber and are also ripped on my x5m.. any idea what the part numbers are and if there are knock off versions available?

Used OEM parts for those, they are inexpensive. You'll find them at FCP Euro and ECSTuning.

I would highly recommend spending $100 to buy the new BMW center piece because they redesigned it better prevent water from getting past the joints.
You can use these cheaper side pieces from the Amazon ones. |
