BMW X5 G05 3.0D FRONT PACKAGE COMPLETE

For the BMW X5 (G05), a “Front Package Complete” (often called a “Front Clip” or “Front End Assembly”) is typically used for heavy collision repair or upgrading a base model to the M Sport look.

In 2026, these packages are highly standardized for the 3.0d (xDrive30d/40d) models.

1. What is Included in a “Complete” Package?

A true professional front package for the G05 includes three main layers: Body, Lighting, and the Cooling Pack.

• Body Parts: Hood (Bonnet), both Fenders (Wings), and the Front Bumper assembly (including the Kidney Grilles).

• Lighting: Left and Right Headlights (Adaptive LED or the premium BMW Laserlight).

• The “Cooling Pack”: * Main Radiator and A/C Condenser.

  • Intercooler (specific to the 3.0d Turbo Diesel).

  • Radiator Support (the “Slam Panel” or Belt).

  • Cooling Fan assembly with shroud

• Structural/Safety: Front Crossmember (Crash Bar), impact absorbers (foam), and hood latches.

• Electronics: Front wiring harness, PDC (Parking) sensors, and the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) radar sensor if equipped.

2. Pre-LCI (2019–2022) vs. LCI (2023–2026)

You must identify if you need the original design or the “Life Cycle Impulse” (Facelift) version, as they are not interchangeable without a full conversion.

3. Estimated Pricing (2026 Market)

Prices vary significantly based on whether the package is sourced from a donor vehicle (Used OEM) or assembled from new parts.

• Used OEM Front Package (Standard xLine): $6,500 – $8,500 USD

• Used OEM Front Package (M Sport): $8,000 – $11,000 USD

• Premium Laserlight Upgrade: Adding Laserlights (Option 5AZ) to a package usually adds a $1,500 – $2,200 premium.

4. Technical Notes for the 3.0d (Diesel)

• Intercooler Specifics: The 3.0d (B57 engine) uses a specific intercooler (Part #17-51-8-584-127). If you buy a package from a gasoline X5 (40i), the intercooler and some radiator hoses will not fit your diesel engine.

• Active Grille Shutters: The G05 uses “Active Air Stream” kidney grilles. Ensure the motor and the shutter slats are included and moving freely; if they are jammed from a collision, you will get a permanent Check Engine Light.

• Component Protection: The Headlight Driver Modules (the “brains” on top of the lights) are VIN-locked. If you buy a used package, you will need a technician with BMW ISTA or ESYS to “virginize” and code the modules to your car.

5. Installation Tip: The “ACC” Radar

The most fragile part of the front package is the Active Cruise Control sensor located in the lower center of the bumper.

• Cost: This sensor alone can cost $1,500+.

• Calibration: If the front package includes this sensor, it must be calibrated using a specialized laser-alignment tool at a shop. Without calibration, your emergency braking and cruise control will be disabled.
