You should try this at your dealer.

I order here or from the dealer.
He may have already installed it for delivery.

Is it a sticker or a plastic or metal?

Consists of aluminum for gluing.

Is 3M double faced tape or glue provided with the part?

OHV_44 · 12-13-2023, 11:34 AM

No idea.

"BMW M Blende Einsteig vorn 2er U06 5er G60 X1 U11"

wait a minute.. so they are the exact same one that came pre-installed on my new X1(U11) with M Sport package a few months ago?

How cheap is BMW to skip them for the new 5-series?

pics below shows my X1. I already think they are too short. Why does it look longer on the 5-series door sill? Does the 5-series have a shorter door than my X1? Just wondering.

since my X1 has one on the passenger side, I wonder if I can just remove it and put it on my 530i when the car arrives?

(just kidding, BMW only glued them on there, after removal, they will probably be bent)

Thanks!

They are normally clipped on and would not directly fit on the G60. You’d have to modify, or tape them on. These aren’t universal to just any BMW

What is the purpose of the door sill protector? To prevent scratching from your shoes with getting in and out?

I bought the M ones from a seller on EBay. They were new, wrapped in plastic that said BMW and had double sided tape.

Do they include the rear doors also? Given I’m also in the PNW (south sound) how well have they held up?

No, they only had the fronts. I haven’t had these long. Before I had some magnetic ones but I kept kicking them off and they got scratched.

Did you have to buy two separate items or did they come in a set? I haven't been able to locate them as a set, to date.

Blue Sky · 08-30-2024, 12:11 AM

Looks like it is sold individually, but apparently on G60 there is no difference left/right like there was on previous cars (my F10 M5 has 4 different part numbers for the 4 doors).

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/51479464399/

unfortunately realoem stopped getting updates so no way to look up parts for current cars. Hence I don’t know if there is a different part number for the rear sills.

Yes, that really was the golden age there for a while, when both ETK (the parts catalog) and TIS (technical info, repair instructions, wiring diagrams) were available online for free. Before that I had to buy/use bootleg CD-ROM sets to get that information, and then buy them again later to get updates.

Mine came as a set.

The Carbon fiber is small and $200 each side. Crazy. At least should be like 3” longer. Heck I’m sounding like my wife now.

dubb13 · 08-30-2024, 01:43 PM

I got quote at $70 a piece at least for the front side
