Upgrading from E70 to F15. Parts compatible?

choicez · 03-12-2016, 02:38 PM

I'm in the process of upgrading from a 2013 X5 xDrive35i (E70) to a 2016 X5 xDrive35i M Sport package (F15)

I would like to swap as many or all my parts from one X5 to another but I'm not sure if they're compatible. If you made the same transition already, can you let me know if they will fit?

Here are my parts:
1) Style 214 (Y-spoke) rims- YES
2) Kidney grill- NO
3) Front turn signals bulbs- NO (w Lighting Package)
4) Fog lights bulbs- N/A
4) Interior lights (LED)- N/A
5) Floor mats- Front (yes) & Rear (kinda)
6) Cargo liner- YES

My cargo liner fit perfectly.

@choicez the wheels will fit.
Kidney grill and the others won't.
Interior lights are all LED already.
Fog lights also LED.

Thank you for your input fellas. Pretty much no bad news for the transition. I'll find out the hard way if the floor mats will fit then. As for cargo liner and rims,

.
Glad to hear BMW upgraded the lights to LED.

@r33_RGSport if the F15 sale finalizes, I will be contacting you soon for parts. I've been on your website already

It helps you're located in SoCal too.

The floor mats mostly fit, I have my e70 mats in it, rears are not perfect but not bad, fronts fit almost perfect! 214's will fit, cargo liner will fit, the rest will not.

If you don't get the Lighting Package, the headlamps will be Xenon and the turn signal incandescent. Only with the Lighting Package with LED headlights are the turn signals also LED.

Great info thx!

And yes, I ordered the Lighting package. However, I prefer the clear turn signals so I might just use my the clear LED bulbs from the E70 if it's compatible.

Not compatible. The turn signals are an integrated LED strip inside the headlamp, not standalone bulbs. If you stay with HIDs, then there's a bulb/socket for you to swap your clear LED bulb into.

OP could always flip those extra parts.

There would no point giving those to the dealer if trading or selling.

Also if you have a spare on the E70, that's all compatible with the F15.

Yes, all these extra parts will be posted in the E70 classified section.

I don't have a spare for the E70 but I sure ordered the space saver spare for the F15

Do you have a photo? I would like to purchase a set of OEM E70 front floor mats since they are the last to have the reinforced heel pad on the carpeted version. If you could post a photo showing how well or how poorly they fit I would appreciate it. Thanks.

This is a set of photos from previous E70 X5M I owned and now the F85 X5M. The layout of the floor mat appears to be similar but very difficult to tell without laying one mat over another.
