Body kits?

Looking to start a build on my 2018 530i. Seeing if there are any aftermarket companies that make body kits for said vehicle? Other than the factory MSport body kit. (Front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts)
Thanks in advance!

I've honestly not seen anything other than the M Sport body kit as far as bumpers go. However with an M Sport bodykit there is an abundance of aftermarket add-on parts (splitters, spoilers, side skirt extensions etc) available.

Dealer has said that in order to replace with M Sport bumpers, tabs and brackets under bumpers would have to be replaced totaling to about $5,000 ($2,500 Front/$2,500 Rear).

Wow! I would say its not worth it because the price differential between M Sport and non-M Sport is less than this and you get more than just bumpers.

On the other hand, I have not seen anything at all that can be added to non-M Sport bumpers. It it were me, I would leave it for now as more things will come in the future from the aftermarket (both add-ons for non M Sport and full new bumpers).

I guess it depends how badly you want to change things up right now.

Alpina front and rear spoilers. Not cheap, but Alpina B5 is based on the non-M sport bodywork so is designed to work on your car. I love the way the B5 looks. KSK Distributing is listed as an authorized US distributor, but ebay probably has cheaper replica parts.
