Maxton Design Bodykit for X7

X5M50D · 10-03-2021, 10:52 AM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I'm seriously interested in the full body kit for my X7 which is shown on the above link.
I'm able to get it installed new at a relatively inexpensive price, however wanted to know if anyone on this forum has had it on their vehicle and what they thought of the quality?
What do you guys generally think

Cheers for the feedback.

I just installed their gloss black kit on my rs6. Fitment was great and you can't beat the price.

i’ve been waiting for this. Why is v1 of the front splitter more expensive?

Would love to see pictures installed and which version is generally preferred?

robbys3m3 · 10-03-2021, 11:43 AM

I like what I'm seeing so far

The V1 is a double front splitter and the V2 and V3 are single front splitters.
I'm thinking of going for the V1 as there is only a £20 increase.

I have it sitting in my garage right now since I've been too busy/lazy to install it. I may have to just ask around for a shop to do it so I can get it off my shelves haha

superpanjy · 10-03-2021, 01:03 PM

Very good looking.
Will those only good on sapphire black?
My x7 will be carbon black.

What’s the quality like?
I’ve been quoted £160 for installation for the 5 pieces and they are Maxton stockists.

No they will go with any colour vehicle - I have Phytonic blue and would look at gloss black to match the M sport trim.
You can also get carbon finish (more expensive) or Matt black for spraying you preferred colour.

jsmonet · 10-03-2021, 01:16 PM

fit looks great, build is... well.. it's an ABS lip, but it showed up covered in protective film and the finish looks just fine. I have no complaints so far, just looking at it out of the box. This tracks with what the x5 folks have been saying as well. The only thing lacking is instructions--and that doesn't seem to be a problem if you're lining up a shop to do this.

ducatiti · 10-03-2021, 02:00 PM

Guys, pls do post pictures of it installed. Double sided tape installation and requires no drilling. Thoughts of gloss black. Mpackage equipped on Tanzanite Blue?

CGJ999 · 10-03-2021, 02:01 PM

Look good. Hurry up and post photos once installed.

robbys3m3 · 10-04-2021, 06:21 PM

I just ordered the kit

if the v1 front isn't out for a bit I asked for the v2

Looks like the kits come with mounting bolts. I don’t think I’d trust a tape only install on the highway.

I'm also ready to press the button this week!
As a matter of interest do you mind me asking how much you paid in the US?
Are you installing it yourself?
Look forward to seeing some pictures soon.

SoCali E36 · 10-05-2021, 10:56 AM

Looks good. That car is just screaming for some aftermarket wheels tho

AlpineG05 · 10-05-2021, 11:12 AM

I have the full kit on my m sport x5 and fitment was perfect. You can install it yourself with double sided tape and using the supplied nuts and bolts. My brother and I completed the install in about an hour. Also, you can't beat the price.

Got any photos????

Did you have to drill any holes into the car for the bolt fittings?

Also does it impinge onto the mounting points for the jack if I wanted to change a tyre?

Install is not difficult just take your time, check fitment, wipe surfaces clean, lay down your tape, place on car, and then drill.

themnmd · 10-06-2021, 08:04 AM

Nice looking, very clean.

X5M50D · 10-06-2021, 09:08 AM

I like it AlpineG05 - not in your face but a subtle aggressive face lift.
Do the side skirts obstruct to underneath welcome lights (so not sure what they are called?) that project onto the floor?
Also are the lifting points to jack up the car clear of the side skirts?
