Noob help, oem non-m fender to add on M-sport flares?

I've been wondering are these direct bolt-on pieces? I'd get an x5 if I can change the flat fender pieces to the wider looking fender flares.

Yes they are direct swap pieces. You'll have to get the non-M sport fender flares or it wont sit flush at the edges but either way they're both held on by plastic rivets.
Plenty of posts and youtube videos about it

is there a common vendor you guys use for the flares? So I'll need the inner plastic wheel well fenders as well?

Ebay it or check your local classifieds. No need to change the wheel well liners just the flares and plastic rivets

I got my set from eBay. I believe they were around $180 for all 4. Plus you have to purchase the rivet tool. Fitment was great
