BMW F10/F11 Tuning and Restyling — Page 70

BMW 5 Series F10/F11 2010–2016 includes the F10 sedan and the F11 Touring, and within this generation there are two periods: pre-LCI 2010–2013 and LCI facelift 2013–2016. Some parts are the same for all cars, while others fit only a specific body style, model year, or bumper type. This page contains model-specific products for F10/F11 and universal accessories selected by size—the latter have the word “Universal” in the product name.

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

The biggest category is body kits, and here the key factor is not the year but the bumper. Front lip spoilers 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. A lip designed for M-Performance or M5 will not fit a stock bumper, and an M5 lip does not fit an M-Performance bumper. For M-Performance and M5 there are both one-piece lips and separate side flaps (often called “fangs”). If you are not sure which bumper your car has, send the manager photos of the front and rear bumpers—based on these, they will match both the lip and the diffuser. The same applies to rear diffusers: they differ by bumper type (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 a single-side exhaust will not fit a dual-side setup, so before ordering check how many tips you have and which side they exit on your car.

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

Complete bumpers, body kit sets, and facelift conversions

For a full exterior 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) exhaust, and M5 side skirts. Bumpers are also sold separately: M-Performance front bumpers for pre-LCI and LCI, and M5-style front bumpers; rear bumpers are available for different exhaust configurations. Note that the M5-style front bumper has no fog lights, while the M-Performance bumper does; for M-Sport LCI there is a separate mounting bracket in the fog lights section. The most extensive option is facelift conversion kits to the look of G30 M5 or G60. The G30 M5 kit includes headlights, grille, both bumpers, front fenders, hood, side skirts, rear lights, and exhaust tips, while the doors, mirrors, rear fenders, and trunk lid remain stock. Parts install in factory mounting points and are painted in body color. You can have the kit installed at DD Tuning’s network of certified service centers—the manager will recommend the nearest one.

Pre-LCI 2010–2013 or LCI 2013–2016

• Mirrors — M-Look caps and cover add-ons differ for 2010–2013 and 2013–2016; M5 has separate carbon caps. An add-on cover sticks over the OEM cap with tape, while a replacement cap clips in and fully replaces it—both options are available for both periods.
• Headlights — Full LED versions are available separately for pre-LCI and LCI, plus a G30 Laser-style option; for 2013–2016 there is an adapter harness for G30-style lighting. Rear lights — in LCI design, including a dark Black version.
• Interior floor mats — EVA, Carsuit rubber, and Stingray 3D polyurethane are also split between 2010–2013 and 2013–2016.
• Kidney grilles — inserts for 2010–2013 and M-Look and Diamond kidneys in several colors, including a version with LED.

F10 sedan or F11 Touring

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

Carbon, gloss black, or paintable

Many parts come in several finishes. Trunk spoilers differ 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 paintable to match the body color or made from carbon, just like the rear window spoilers. A gloss spoiler is ready to install, and you can repaint it if you want. Spoilers are bonded with automotive glass sealant adhesive—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 eyebrows for 2010–2013. Complete the look with exhaust tips in M5 style, including carbon versions, and an steering wheel in M-Style or CS-Style—available with carbon and LED.
