How is the fitment since they are not OEM?

"made by an ISO certified manufacturer"

This is the OEM option: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261352538864...84.m1423.l2649

Thank you they are replica as confirmed by the seller I will probably go with option 2

[RaceTruk]

I, going to try these reps I will report back once fitted.
As long as they are plastic they should be legit!

Post some pics when you have a chance , I will be posting pics after I install the front and rear lips, I'm working on buying a set of 214 in 20" when that goes thru I will get the fender flares but I'm still doing some research because I think there are some flares that are wider than others like the LCI vs SPORT , but I'm new here so I can be wrong.

[rvladescu]

The wider ones are the ones that come on the X5M

ok i agree with you , now my question is do the X5M fender flares work on the X5 LCI NON M ?
that has been my issue all along because i dont want to buy the M flares and not be able to use them on my vehicle

I did hear something about this, I think someone said they don't line up with the bumpers very well but I can't say for sure as I have never personally seen it.

[Marco Sousa]

Thank you buddy, I think more research is needed

Can't be done.
Wider where it meets the front bumper, rear bumper, and there is a M specific sideskirt to he more wide
You'd need to change everything.

Best combo would be msport front bumper, msport/m fender flares and sideskirt and x5m rear bumper to avoid needing the headlights if you were going to go all out, but you'd need to do custom exhuast work

RaceTruk, keep us updated on those flares. I keep going back and forth deciding on either paying the extra 100 for oem or saving 100

i don't think that's accurate, i can see the bumpers being different but the headlights ???
Anyway i think i found the solution for my quetion after seeing several pictures of 2012 X5 sport activity which looks excatly like my LCI Premium and im ok with the size of the fender flares on the sport activity model.

But thank you for your post, its good to hear diferent opinons.

[RaceTruk]

X5m uses x6 headlights.
Msport uses normal headlights

[Marco Sousa]

I didn't know that, thank you for the information this is exactly why I like this forum because I learn something new about my vehicle every day.
