2013 x5 fender flares to match M Sport

hey guys,

Just bought a 2013 X5 35i. It is a pretty basic car. I am trying to get the M Sport wheels for it, so I want fender flares to match the M Sport. I have the basic flush matte black fender flares on it now. How can I make it look like a M Sport. I went to my body shop and they said they can order the M Sport flares, and put them on, but will they line up? Also, I am getting the body strip in the middle of the doors painted. Please help

Check with BMW of Newton, NJ. They are running this ad: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E70-X5-F...2875b8&vxp=mtr

I just bought a pair. Cheapest I could find, and free shipping. Requires painting if you don't want black. Will match up perfectly with your standard rocker panels (non running board).

Thanks for the link. So this requires the taking off of my old mouldings and simply painting these and putting them back on? I rather have my bodyshop order these parts from a OEM company is case something is misaligned. Does anyone know if I can order the M Sport flares from a body shop and they mount right up?

the front mount right up but not exactly flush, the rear does not fit, I have 2 brand new rears that I bough by mistake

you are better off just getting the non M sport and having the shop prime them up and paint them.

Okay, so buy the Sport Acitivity fender flares, then paint too match. Got it.

Secondly, what about the running board area, will the M Sport match up, or just paint that too....My body shop was worried about the paint being grainy on these. Thanks.
