BMW M Performance Air Breather

Post by Dukester » Mon Mar 20, 2017 9:50 am

Anyone know if these would fit 2016 F15 MSport?  If so anyone got a good part number? I checked Bimmerfest and someone on there bought a set but never came back to say the fitted. These are on the X5 M

Cheers

I think the part numbers you are after are:

51138056343 (left) + 51138056344 (right)

From what I'm reading though, the F85 is a slightly different mold, so wouldn't fit a normal F15.

Cheers for the feedback.  I also checked the part numbers for the X5M and my 40D front wings and they are different.  Might take a punt and buy one to test.  Ugly finish with nothing in that vent. The BMW part numbers foe the gloss black edition are 51712354930 and 931.

Dukester.....Look forward to  further comments,in the fullness of time.    They  look impressive,but having seen photos on other forums,my opinion is they look a bit "loud" on a white car,but would suit a black or grey car better., a bit more subtle.  Just my opinion....

Dukester....        As is mine....  look forward to seeing yours.    Apparently you need to cut off the retaining clips and then use double sided tape.....sounds a bit brutal but they say it's ok.....
