51117168923 Fog Frame | Aerodynamic & Protective Trim
51117168923 Fog Frame: Aerodynamic Trim Component
Designed for precise integration with the BMW X5 E70 front fascia, the 51117168923 Fog Frame delivers factory-grade aerodynamic performance while protecting fog lamp components. This injection-molded polycarbonate assembly maintains original equipment curvature tolerances within 0.3mm for seamless bumper alignment. UV-stabilized polymer construction prevents yellowing and maintains structural integrity across temperature fluctuations from -30°C to 85°C. Precision-engineered mounting clips ensure vibration-free attachment without compromising accessibility for bulb replacement. The textured surface finish matches original equipment patterns while integrated water channels prevent moisture accumulation. Enhanced ribbing structure provides impact resistance up to 5.5J force without visible deformation. Direct replacement design eliminates modification requirements with pre-drilled holes aligning perfectly with existing bumper fasteners.
Technical Specifications of 51117168923 Fog Frame
Material Composition
Manufactured from ISO 4892-2 compliant polycarbonate blend with 30% glass fiber reinforcement for dimensional stability. Surface treatment utilizes two-stage UV protection coating with 8μm thickness for enhanced weather resistance. The material formulation achieves UL94 V-0 flammability rating while maintaining 82 Shore D hardness. Injection molding process ensures wall thickness consistency within ±0.25mm across all structural surfaces. Integrated mounting points feature stainless steel reinforcement inserts rated for 10,000+ insertion cycles. The hybrid polymer matrix combines impact-modified resins with anti-static additives to prevent dust accumulation. Color pigments are masterbatch-integrated during molding to eliminate paint chipping while maintaining exact OEM color matching for Alpine White, Jet Black, and Titanium Silver finishes.
Structural Engineering
Features aerodynamic contours reducing drag coefficient by 0.02 compared to aftermarket alternatives. The multi-chamber design incorporates seven independent support ribs distributing stress loads across the bumper substructure. Integrated clip receptors maintain 3.5mm engagement depth with factory mounting points for secure retention. Pre-installed EPDM gaskets create watertight seals around fog lamp housings. Access ports allow tool-free bulb replacement without frame removal. The modular design accommodates both halogen and LED fog light configurations. Anti-rattle padding on contact surfaces eliminates vibration noise at highway speeds. Thermal expansion slots compensate for material movement while maintaining panel gap consistency. The reverse-engineered profile matches original wind tunnel testing specifications for optimal airflow management around wheel arches.
Compatibility Details
This 51117168923 Fog Frame is specifically designed for left-side installation on BMW X5 E70 models produced between 2007-2013 model years. Compatible with both pre-facelift and LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) versions featuring updated front bumper designs. Verified fitment for vehicles equipped with factory fog lights across all trim levels including xDrive35d, xDrive50i, and M Sport packages. Accommodates OEM headlight washer systems and parking sensor configurations without interference. Not compatible with models featuring night vision camera modules or aftermarket light bars exceeding 6" width. For vehicles with adaptive cruise control radar units, confirm clearance between sensor housing and fog frame before installation. Always cross-reference vehicle production date with manufacturer specifications to ensure proper alignment with bumper reinforcement brackets and electrical connectors.
