Does anyone else have a x5 where the gap between the bonnet and the guards is different on the left to the right? Most people would never notice but my left gaurd has a gap of approx 6mm vs 3mm on the other side.

Yep, same in Aus. Poor fit of the plastic guard meeting the bonnet. Not normall BMW standard.

All good here...but that would annoy me for sure.

I've noticed this too, pictures would help. I'm gonna bring this up on my next service visit. poor fitment even on the trunk also. very subtle but still noticeable when close up.

You will have to take it in to the dealer ship and it takes them a few days to realign the fenders and hood everything is that out of alignment.

Hopefully it isn't and they can adjust one fender and the hood a bit.
