Anyone find a Push Bar or Bull Bar for LCI x5?

I am looking for a push bar or bull bar for an LCI.
I can only find ones for preLCI, but today, i saw an LCI go by me with one that looked very similar to this one but the ebay seller said it does not work for LCI (it has 2 supports at the front tow hook mounts but LCI seem to only have this on one side......not to mention it may bot be in the same place).
anyone find anything?

Why you want a bullbar in the first place? Ugly in my opinion
Let your X5 shows its natural beauty instead of adds on

Interesting, cannot say I have seen these before. Do you just want to protect your car when you parallel park it?

i live in New York City.
Unfortunately a push bar is better then a dent or a scuff.
I also am going for the offroad look

Understand for NYC parking. The one thing about these they do look to provide extra protection a for a parking bump that you may get, if anything more than that, a lot of times they do more damage overall when it's more than just a bump. That and if you have PDC, It could block a sensor as the location of the sensors aren't always taken into consideration. Just something to look out for if you go this route being a lot of the units while most of the BMW crowd may not go for it for ascetic reasons, that may not be the same as you would see for say your Dodge, Ford, or Chevy when it comes to design for BMW's brut-ness when I'd guess that would design and build more for look

I like naf's in Miami. That is a subtle yet functional pushbar.

Gross.

I'd rather have a Prius run back and forth into my front bumper for an hour or two.
