BMW X5 F15 tuning 2013–2018 — Page 34

Here you will find tuning parts and accessories for the BMW X5 F15 (2013–2018): M-Sport body kit sets, X5M F85-style and Black Warrior kits, X5M F95 2024 facelift kits, separate bumpers, lips, diffusers and spoilers, M-Look kidney grilles, G05-design headlights, rear lights and LED modules, side steps (running boards), mud flaps, cross bars for integrated roof rails, M-Style steering wheels and floor mats. Most exterior parts are selected by bumper type—stock, M-Sport or X5M F85-style—and this type is stated in the product name. There are separate pages for the previous X5 E70 and the next X5 G05: body parts are not interchangeable between generations— even F15 and G05 mirror caps have different shapes.

First, identify your bumper: stock, M-Sport or X5M F85

Front bumper lip add-ons, rear diffusers and arch extensions are produced separately for each bumper type and marked “for M-Sport” or “for F85”. M-Sport is the factory sport package for the regular X5, while F85 is an X5M-style bumper with a different shape. That’s why an F85 lip will fit an F15 only if the car already has an F85 bumper installed. M-design add-ons do not fit the stock bumper without the M package—first you need to replace the bumper or choose a full body kit. Vehicle-specific add-ons are designed for the original bumper or for the exact body kit bumper they were made for; with a non-original bumper, minor adjustment may be required. If you’re not sure which bumper is on your car, send the manager a photo of the front end—they will select the correct option. Universal DPT lips and diffusers do not replicate the bumper shape one-to-one—compare their dimensions to your car.

Body kits, bumpers and facelift conversions

• M-Sport body kit — complete front bumper with grille, rear bumper, side skirts, arch extensions (4 pcs), M-Performance exhaust tips and mounting hardware; supplied paint-ready.
• X5M F85-style kit with exhaust system — front and rear bumpers, grille, fender vents, bumper reinforcements, fender inserts, side skirts, arch extensions and an X5M-style exhaust. Compared to M-Sport, it differs in the design of both bumpers and the exhaust system.
• X5M F95 2024 facelift — two options: with tailgate replacement, where the rear also gets the new-generation look, and without replacement, where the factory tailgate stays.

If you don’t need a full kit, front and rear bumpers (M-Sport and X5M F85-style) are sold separately, as are the hood, fenders and arch extensions. The contents of each item are listed in the specifications. Parking sensors, the camera and fog lights are transferred from the factory bumper, so check the photos to make sure the new bumper has cutouts for your equipment. Bumpers and kits mount to factory locations and come paint-ready: the installer test-fits the parts and sets the gaps first, then paints them to match the body color and installs them permanently.

Individual exterior parts

• Lips, diffusers, spoilers — carbon (V1–V3 versions), Black Warrior design, and gloss-black ABS plastic. The material is stated in the product name.
• Kidney grilles M-Look (gloss, matte, M-Color, with chrome trim, with LED backlight) and fender vents in X5M F85 style — black or chrome; they install on factory fenders, no fender replacement required.
• Lighting — front headlights in G05 design (preLCI and LCI Laser), G05-style rear lights as a pair, and LED modules for headlights. Modules differ by part number—check the number on your module before ordering.
• Mirrors — M-Look caps replace the factory cap and clip into place; mirror covers are glued over the original.
• Rear bumper protectors from Carmos and OmsaLine made of stainless steel protect the bumper when loading the trunk and attach with tape; M-Performance exhaust tips are designed for the M-Sport bumper.

Side steps, mud flaps, roof and interior

“Side skirts” can mean two different products. Aluminum side steps by Maya, Maydos, BlackLine, OEM and others are sold as a pair, include mounting hardware and install in factory locations; OEM “like original” versions are installed instead of the factory plastic sill trim. M-Sport or X5M side skirts are the plastic body kit parts in the side skirt tuning section. Universal door sill protectors should only be glued to a flat area—measure it before ordering.

Premium model-specific mud flaps for the F15 are designed for vehicles with side steps (running boards)—this is stated in the name, so check whether your X5 has them. For vehicles without side steps, there are universal mud flaps.

If your F15 has factory integrated roof rails, choose cross bars specifically for them: Strong, Skybar, Wizard, WingBar, WingCarrier; some come with a key lock. The cross bar color is usually matched to the rails. For vehicles without rails, there are OEM aluminum integrated roof rails.

Inside the F15, you can upgrade the M-Style steering wheel (with carbon and LED), and there is an interior upgrade kit. Floor mats are made to the cabin patterns: EVA in five colors without raised edges—water and dirt stay in the cells and pour out easily; Carsuit and Stingray Premium rubber mats are heavy and non-slip; Stingray 3D polyurethane mats have a low lip; there are also textile mats and trunk mats.

Installation

Bumpers, body kits, side steps and roof rails install in factory locations. Lips and diffusers without factory mounting points are bonded with windshield polyurethane sealant; the surface must be cleaned and degreased first. Double-sided tape may not hold a heavy add-on, and adhesive is usually not included. You can install body kits at DD Tuning’s network of certified service centers—the manager will recommend the nearest one.
