Questions about bumper swap..

Joyaant911 · 12-21-2013, 01:56 PM

I currently have an 07 x5 I have the aero kit on and everything but seeing this new rear bumper made me want it, does anybody know what exactly I will need for this rear bumper conversion I believe it's off the 2012 not sure. And does anyone know if they make an aero kit for it as well. Thanks

Opinions are also welcome.

Did some googling... Would I have to switch my rear trim or will my current flares work? And will my sensors be the same fitment

This is an M Sport package bumper. I don't know if there is any difference from the pre-lci version (08-10) vs the lci version (11-13). Here's a pic of my 2010 for reference.

for sure, pre-lci and lci are the same BMW parts : 51128037276
i've taken this from the ETK.

I am myself considering converting my rear (and perhaps front) too ...
i've bought a E70 2 weeks ago ...

the only actually opened question : what about the flares ???

Just slap some M badges on it. You'll be fine!

Do a search. Other members had posted this.

No, you need to get new flares and other parts for M bumper. The new flares will not fit properly if you have running boards.

Not a noob and not tryna impersonate an M so if you have nothing valuable to input best not input anything at all.. Thanks. Now the idiot on top in the pic clearly is...

The new rear simply looks more aggressive
