Regular X5 to SPort Activity

pullmychamb · 09-15-2016, 01:08 PM

Correct me if I am wrong, and sorry for beating a dead horse.

I have a wrecked 2011 sport activity now. I just put a offer on a regular 2013 x5.

I can swap the the tires and fender flares and there would be no issues?

Is the fender flares and the tires the only difference?

thanks!

20" light alloy wheels
Fender flares
Sport seats
Shadowline exterior trim
Anthracite headliner
Sport steering wheel

That's not an inexpensive list. Might be best just to buy another SA.

You will have no problem swapping those if thats what it comes to.

There could be many other differences though. Sport vs. Non-Sport is a big one. After that, packaging configuration changed in 2012.

The 2013 will have the LED coronas, while the 2011 unless a late model diesel build will have the nasty halogen coronas. Meaning, big upgrade with the 2013 in that dept.

You can quickly find the part number at www.realoem.com, then key it into any one of the online sites that sell OEM parts for price. Personally, I'd start with www.getbmwparts.com.

A 2011 Sport model will have wheel style 214. Make sure you get the right size, the rears are wider (I'm sure you already knew that).
