BMW X5 E53 Body Kit and Aero Parts

This page lists body kit and aero kit parts for the BMW X5 E53 (1999–2006): front bumper lips for the 1999–2003 and 2003–2006 bumpers, a rear bumper lip, a spoiler, Performance side skirts, a 6-piece ALPINA wheel arch kit and M-Look kidney grilles. All parts except the grilles are fiberglass and come unpainted.

Pre-facelift or facelift

The E53 received a new front bumper in 2003. The 1999–2003 lip will not fit the 2003–2006 bumper and vice versa, so identify your bumper first – if it was swapped, go by the part, not the model year. The gloss black ABS M-Look grilles are for early 1999–2003 cars.

Kit components

• front and rear bumper lips by Meliset;
• spoiler;
• Performance side skirts (2 pcs) – for cars without factory aluminum steps;
• ALPINA wheel arch flares (6 pcs).

Installation

Fiberglass parts are primed rather than painted because the exact body color is matched at the paint shop. Test-fit them, then bond with windshield adhesive (not included); the arch flares can also be mounted with double-sided tape. A body shop can set the gaps before painting.
