Hi all ,
Ive just bought a 2007 E70 3.0D SE and looking to give it a face lift.
I was wondering if its possible to buy more sporty or newer body kit to fit to my car ?
Ive looked at Msport kits or newer parts , but not sure if they will fit like for like or require some work ?
Thanks all

Been thinking the same......
Maybe at the very least colour coded trim!
Also check out, the "Aero kits" kits on ebay.
Isn't going to work out cheap though

Hi all ,
I'm looking at potential upgrades to my X5 se .
I've been looking at upgrading the lights to LCI ? To adding an Msport or Aero body kit?
I'm just not sure what the differences are and if it's worth doing ??
Cheers

All down to personal preference , easiest fix is new wheels and tyres this always gives a car a refresh along with grill change , M Sport extended arch kit moves you up to 20" wheels and tyres as they stick out of the arches if fitted to an SE X5 which is an mot fail .
Some Se versions have been factory fitted with the arch extensions although they are usually not body coloured like the M Sport , you can buy kits from BMW although lots of kits on eBay which are cheaper but a lot more work to fit , other options could be a local breaker .
Good luck

Apologies if It seems like a silly question , but is there a side by side comparison of an SE and msport together as many bodykits on eBay just shoe extensions ? And not full bumpers ?
Also mine does have non coloured arch trims but I didn't realise that they were the arch extensions ?

This is very similar to mine , with the black parts on the front and arches ?

Hi the main difference is no side steps , front and rear bumpers are also body coloured .

So does that mean if I colour the front and rear bumper and the arch extensions , it's an msport from the outside? Also given all that am I correct in thinking that you can buy bumper extensions??

With painting I guess approx £450, but a bargain for the face lift I guess??
