How much would it cost to change a M-Sport body kit to regular?

I have been looking around for a new or used X5, found one that's got the right color and options, except that it's got the M-Sport body kit.

Is it possible to change the painted M-Sport body kit to regular X5 50i body kit? For some reason I really don't like the look of the painted body kit or the M-Sport front/rear bumper...

The best way to make costs cheapest, is to find someone with the same color and is willing to swap the body with you. If they are, cost is not much. All you would need to do is have someone do the swap of the hardware. Now if it was me, I would do it myself. Good luck and let us know.

I'm sure you won't have a problem finding someone to swap with you. You could probably even make a little money on top.

Hmmm that's a great idea actually, never thought about swapping the body before

The best case would be find someone with an X5 in the same color with Style 214 or 336 wheels that want the whole M-Sport body and wheel look....

Honesty I really don't like the M-Sport look on the X5s for some reason, X5M looks great, regular X5 looks great, but not the M-Sport. My ideal combo would be regular X5 with LCI Aero Kit, and 214/336 wheels, but that's just me

Did you make a purchase? You might get used to its appearance over the time.
