BMW X5 F15 2013-2018 Body kit with exhaust system (X5M)

The X5M body kit (part number CJ-BDK-14F15M) transforms the BMW X5 F15 2013–2018 into the X5M F85 look: it includes the front and rear bumpers, side skirts, 4 fender flares, chrome fender gills, and an exhaust system in the X5M F85 style. Manufacturer — GBT, the parts mount to the factory locations. Compared to the M-Sport kit for the same body, it differs primarily in the exhaust system.

What’s included in the X5M body kit for BMW X5 F15

• front bumper in X5M F85 style;
• rear bumper in X5M F85 style;
• side skirts in X5M F85 style;
• arch extensions in X5M F85 style — 4 pcs.;
• X5M F85 style gills in chrome finish (Chrome) — decorative inserts for the front fenders;
• exhaust system in X5M F85 style.

The bumpers are made of polypropylene (PP), the rest of the parts are made of various materials. The kit is packed in two boxes: 217 × 73 × 84 cm (30 kg) and 210 × 27 × 27 cm (10 kg) — consider the size of the first one when planning delivery/collection.

Which BMW X5 models the kit fits

The kit is model-specific: it is intended only for the F15 body 2013–2018. The bumpers, skirts, and arch extensions are installed as complete replacements for the factory parts; if the vehicle has already been modified (different bumpers or add-on trim), send the manager photos — prior changes are not visible from the model year. The parts do not transfer to the previous E70 body or the newer G05: for the G05, the catalog has separate BMW X5 G05 body kits.

Is painting required and how the X5M body kit is installed

The bumpers, skirts, and arch extensions are painted to match the body color before final installation. The workflow is standard for a full body kit:

1. removal of the factory bumpers, skirts, and trim;
2. test-fitting the new parts to the factory mounting points and setting the gaps;
3. prep and painting;
4. final installation together with the exhaust system.

During test fitting, before painting, check the mounting points for the parking sensors, headlight washers, and fog lights — they are transferred from the factory bumpers. It’s better to entrust the exhaust system to a technician who works with exhausts: the scope of work is determined on the specific vehicle. The kit can be installed at a body shop that does painting, or within the network of certified DD Tuning service centers — the manager will suggest the nearest one.
