BMW X5 E53 Body Kits (1999–2006) — Page 4

The BMW X5 E53 (1999–2006) body kit here is built from separate vehicle-specific parts: a front bumper lip in two versions (1999–2003 and 2003–2006), a rear bumper lip, a spoiler, Performance side skirts, ALPINA wheel arch flares (6 pieces) and M-Look kidney grilles. Everything except the grilles is fibreglass, supplied ready for paint.

Which front lip suits your E53?

The 2003 facelift brought a different front bumper, so there are two lips: one for the 1999–2003 bumper and one for 2003–2006. Go by the bumper actually fitted to the car, not just the registration year. The M-Look grilles in gloss black ABS are for 1999–2003.

What makes up the E53 kit

• front and rear bumper lips (Meliset, fibreglass);
• spoiler, primed;
• Performance side skirts, 2 pieces – for cars without the factory aluminium running boards;
• ALPINA arch flares, 6 pieces.

Preparation and fitting

The fibreglass parts arrive primed: trial-fit them, fill if needed and paint them to match. They are bonded with windscreen adhesive, which is not included; the arch flares can also go on with double-sided tape. More parts on the BMW X5 E53 page. Delivery to the UK.
