Hey this is my first forum and my first bmw so I’m still learning (be patient with me please). I have a 2021 bmw x7 xdrive40i with the luxury line package. The dealership near me was selling this car at an amazing price and I always dreamed of it. I didn’t know there was a m sport variant and a luxury line variant and got the luxury line. The car is certified and I’m still under warrenty. I wanted to ask, am I able to convert the luxury line bumper to the m sport bumper.

Best bet would be to find an Alpina XB7 front lip as it’s based off the luxury line X7.

The lip is nice and everything for the alpina but I have a xdrive40 I dont want to have the alpina logo as I look at it as upbadging. If I can find a similar front lip without the alpina wording I will definitely get it instead of switching bumpers

You can totally remove the Alpina letters. This might be your only option as I think most aftermarket front lips are designed for Msport vehicles.

How do u remove the letters and is it hard to remove them ?

This is worth researching... I'm sure you can just remove the alpina lettering or easily have the lettering painted the same color as your car so it matches... whether you go aftermarket or OEM

I'm not sure but Ali Express is legit in my experience, just use a credit card and file a dispute if the purchase goes south. It's not ideal and I don't love them either but unfortunately they have a LOT of stuff that you can't get elsewhere. Poke around on eba too, who knows... but for under $700, that would be a killer upgrade.

Ledphut what color is this? These things are awesome. I love my M Sport bumper but this Alpina front end with the lip is just as amazing IMO

Bmw gave me a quote this morning for one oem for $1,600 without the letters. Apparently u have to pay 60 dollars extra for that. I’m debating on that, finding one on eBay, or trusting Aliexpress
