Parts wanted for BMW X5 Le Mans

Post by Le Mans » Sat Jun 04, 2016 12:28 pm

Hi all can anybody help me with parts for my BMW X5 Le Mans 2006. I only bought the car on the 31/03/2016 and some silly 21 year girl wrote it off for me not even had it 2 months yet. Anyway the insurance has deemed it a total loss and have agreed a price with me and I've accepted and bought it back from them. The parts I need if anyone can help are as follows
The complete bonnet plus fixtures and fittings, the complete front bumper plus fixtures and fittings, passenger side wing, the complete passenger side xenon headlamp and bracket, front bumper crossmember and the passenger side suspension strut. I would prefer in Le Mans blue but don't mind what colour as long as they are in very good/excellent condition and will definitely fit my car. Any help would be very much appreciated. Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong section and if so please could someone advise the best section to post in. Thanks for all your help.

Is the chassis still straight?  As in the OP's car, not eBay potential donor one.

Hi yes chassis still straight and intact. I've looked on eBay and found loads of bits but they want silly money for them so I've emailed a few people on there but certain bits from earlier cars I'm unsure of as they had a facelift year. I need other bits and bobs like the inner wheel arch plastic thing and the front slam panel I've found a guy who's reasonably priced for these bits but they're off a 2001 and mines a 2006 but some listings say they fit from 2000-2006 and others say 2003 - 2006 so anybody knows if the 2001 bits will fit mine? Cheers people!

The facelift was in mid-2003 so you need items from after that or it will look wrong.  If I remember correctly you need a car built after September '03.  That's built not registered.

Have a look on Realoem (BMW parts database on line) for the parts and numbers  :)  If you use the last 7 characters of the VIN in the Realoem 'Serial Number' box, it will bring up the right vehicle & market.
