BMW F10/F11 Tuning and Restyling — Page 42

This is the tuning and accessories page for the BMW 5 Series F10 (sedan) and F11 (wagon/estate) model years 2010–2016: body kits—front lips, diffusers, spoilers, bumpers, body kit sets and G30 or G60 facelift conversion kits—as well as headlights and tail lights, kidney grilles, mirrors, interior and trunk mats, chrome trims, and window deflectors. The generation is split into Pre-LCI 2010–2013 and LCI facelift 2013–2016: they use different front bumpers, fog lights, mirror caps, headlights, grille inserts, and interior mats, so before choosing parts, confirm the production year and bumper type—stock, M-Sport, M-Performance, or M5. For the rear end, the body style matters: trunk mats, trunk edge trim, license-plate garnish, rear bumper trims, and window deflectors have separate versions for the F10 sedan (marked SD) and the F11 wagon/estate (marked SW).

Front lips, diffusers, and rear bumpers are selected not by year, but by bumper type and exhaust layout—see how below. Products with “Universal” in the name are not tied to a body style or year; they are chosen by size.

First, identify your bumper: stock, M-Sport, M-Performance, or M5

The largest category is body kits and aero parts, and the key factor here is not the year, but the bumper. Front bumper lip splitters are made for a specific type: DPT in gloss black is available separately for M-Performance, for M5, and for the base bumper; carbon lips are for M-Sport and for M5. An M-Performance or M5 lip will not fit a stock bumper, and an M5 lip does not fit an M-Performance bumper. For M-Performance and M5, there are one-piece lips and separate side flaps (often called “fangs”). If you’re not sure which bumper your car has, send the manager photos of the front and rear bumpers—they’ll match both the lip and the diffuser. The same applies to rear diffusers: they differ by bumper (M-Sport, M-Performance, M5, base 2010–2013) and by exhaust layout—single-side dual, dual-side single, or dual-side dual. A diffuser for single-side exhaust won’t fit a dual-side setup, so before ordering, check how many tips you have and on which side they exit.

A lip or diffuser will fit perfectly on an original bumper. If the car already has a non-OEM bumper replica installed, allow time for test fitting and adjustment. Add-ons without OEM mounting points, including lips and side skirt blades, are installed with automotive adhesive/sealant; skirt blades are sold as a pair.

Full bumpers, body kit sets, and facelift conversions

For a full visual transformation, there are body kit sets: M5 Power includes front and rear bumpers in M5 style, front fenders, M5 side skirts, and exhaust tips; M-Performance LCI includes an M-Performance front bumper, a rear bumper for a split (dual-side) exhaust, and M5 side skirts. Bumpers are also sold separately: M-Performance front bumpers for Pre-LCI and LCI, plus M5-style; rear bumpers for different exhaust options. Note that the M5-style front bumper has no fog lights, while M-Performance does; for M-Sport LCI, the fog light section has a dedicated mounting bracket. The most extensive option is facelift conversion kits to G30 M5 or G60 styling. The G30 M5 kit includes headlights, grille, both bumpers, front fenders, hood, side skirts, tail lights, and exhaust tips, while the doors, mirrors, rear quarter panels, and trunk lid remain OEM. Parts install in factory locations and are painted to match the body color. Installation is available at the network of certified DD Tuning service centers—your manager will advise the nearest one.

Pre-LCI 2010–2013 or LCI 2013–2016

• Mirrors — M-Look mirror covers and caps differ for 2010–2013 and 2013–2016; for M5 there are separate carbon caps. A cover sticks over the factory cap with tape, while a replacement cap clips in and fully replaces it—both options are available for both periods.
• Headlights — FullLed options are separate for Pre-LCI and LCI, plus a G30 Laser style; for 2013–2016 there is an adapter for G30-style optics. Tail lights — in LCI design, including a dark Black version.
• Interior mats — EVA, Carsuit rubber, and Stingray 3D polyurethane mats are also split into 2010–2013 and 2013–2016.
• Kidney grille — inserts for 2010–2013 and M-Look and Diamond kidneys in several colors; an LED version is available.

F10 sedan or F11 wagon/estate

The body style matters for the trunk and rear section. EVA trunk mats, as well as Carsuit rubber and Stingray 3D mats, are made separately for F10 and for F11. In the chrome trim section, the stainless steel trunk edge trim, license-plate garnish, and rear bumper trims are marked SD (sedan) or SW (wagon/estate)—they attach with double-sided tape; clean and degrease the surface first. Window deflectors are also different: HIC and Niken are for the sedan, while in-channel Esa deflectors are available separately for sedan and wagon/estate. Trunk lid spoilers marked “for F10” are intended for the sedan.

Carbon, gloss black, or paint-ready

Many parts come in several finishes. Trunk lid spoilers vary in height and shape: from the low “saber” LIP or OEM-Style to more aggressive M4, PSM, and MP-Style—compare the profile in the photos. They are available in gloss black; some are paint-ready for body-color painting or made from carbon, as are rear window trims. A gloss spoiler is ready to install, and can be repainted if desired. Spoilers are bonded with glass adhesive/sealant—it holds more reliably than tape; the adhesive is usually not included. The carbon add-ons section includes lips, diffusers, side skirt trims, spoilers, mirror caps, and headlight eyelids for 2010–2013. The look is completed with M5-style exhaust tips, including carbon options, and an steering wheel in M-Style or CS-Style—available with carbon and LED.
