Wheel Arch flares

I have an E53 4.4I 2006 & want to fit a set of wheel arch flares like the ones on the 4.8 or 4.6 IS.
Have looked at previous posts with part numbers & compared to some items on Ebay the part numbers are not matching up.
My vehicle is fitted with OEM running boards, I don't plan to fit the front or rear 4.8 IS bumper kits.
Can someone please confirm part numbers required.
Thanks

PS - does anyone have a set they wish to sell?

Think I might have sorted this -:
51 12 7 046 919/20 - rear support bumper trims
51 71 7 051 035/6 - Flared wheel arches - rear
51 71 7 051 037/8 - Flared wheel arches - front
51 11 7 073 517 - Mounting parts kit

Plus a few rivets.
Ebay had 2 sets 4 sale - with & without running boards but he was using same part numbers for both.

Cheers

Instead of purchasing the individual parts,do what Huntertec,Helmuth and myself have done!We went to BMW dealer and bought the fender flares kit off the "X5 3.0D special edition".
Preferably,get in touch with site sponsors ECS and they will willingly supply you.
Either way they shouldnt cost more than $350.00,less than 1/2 price of the 4.6/4.8is flenders.Only difference is the the rear bumper inserts.See my profile pic.
Anyway heres the link to ECS and the Bmw part ref.number..#51710398336

Thx for that - will go into dealer tomorrow and price the kit - any particular tear for the 3.0D special edition - I suppose all they need is the part number anyway.
Whats the go with the bumper inserts?
Cheers

Euroactive web site has a set listed but is quoting part number 51710398335 - are they the same thing?

According to Real.oem,both part numbers go to the 3.0d special edition fender kit ,although at the dealer here they only recognize the 51710398336.

I dont know the prices at Euroactive,but I had a look at their Ebay store and their parts are very expensive!Have you tried ECS Tuning..?Their price for the kit is the best I seen.its cheaper than what it costs me here in PT (usd 385.00) and I get 15% dealer discount!

Heres the difference in the bumper inserts.

Have queried the shipping costs at ECS - more to ship than the cost of the kit so hopefully thats wrong ($473) - I got a set of spacers from them last week & shipping was only $90.
Also looks as if the part # 51510398335 is for those that dont have the door sill or running boards but I cant see how there would be a difference.
Pics look good so thx for that - will be interesting to see what ECS say regarding the shipping costs, in the interim I will price them at BMW tomorrow.
Cheers

Price from BMW dealer was $610 for the 3.0d special edition flare kit, will take 2/3 weeks but much cheaper than ebay in Aus (+$1000) or paying freight from Europe or US.
All going well should have spacers and flares on in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for all the help - cheers

Bmws worlwide pricing policy sucks!Usd 610.00 almost twice what we pay here in Europe.
Still ,in your case it s still more than worthwhile and you still saving a lot.

ECS pricing is very competitive ,its just a shame that the shipping costs kill the deal.

We look forward ro receiving pics
