51117338571 Grille | OE-Spec LCI Left Kidney Grille for 2014-2017 BMW X3/X4
51117338571 Grille: Front Left Kidney Assembly for LCI Models
The 51117338571 Grille provides factory-correct styling for 2014-2017 BMW X3 F25 and X4 F26 models, featuring precise OE-style construction with chrome-accented bars. This direct-fit left-side kidney grille replicates the updated LCI design using impact-resistant ABS plastic. The 51117338571 Grille incorporates precision-molded mounting tabs that align with factory bumper receivers, while thermal-stable construction maintains dimensional integrity across temperature extremes. Strategically spaced vertical bars optimize airflow to cooling systems while preventing debris intrusion. UV-resistant chrome plating maintains reflectivity through seasonal weathering cycles. Pre-aligned fastener points ensure tool-free installation when replacing worn components. Designed with vehicle-specific contours that maintain consistent panel gaps with headlight assemblies. Lightweight design reduces stress on bumper mounting points while providing aerodynamic efficiency comparable to original equipment.
Manufacturing Specifications
Surface Engineering
Multi-stage chrome electroplating over primer-sealed ABS substrate. Mirror-polished finish achieves 95% reflectivity matching OE standards.
Structural Integrity
Reinforcement ribs behind vertical slats prevent deformation. 2.6mm wall thickness maintains rigidity under highway-speed wind loads.
Environmental Durability
Weather-resistant formulation withstands temperature cycling (-30°F to 185°F). UV inhibitors prevent yellowing of plastic components.
Precision Vehicle Fitment
Engineered for LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) BMW X3 F25 models manufactured 08/2014-06/2017 (VIN ranges WBA8E9C56F4G73301-WBA8D3C55JC966482) and X4 F26 models produced 11/2014-06/2017 (VINs WBA4J9C52J6D94127-WBACV9C30J6D92701). Verified compatibility with all engine configurations including N20, N55, and B47/B48 powerplants. Maintains proper clearance for front parking sensors (option 508) and radar cruise control systems (option 5DF). Compatible with both standard and M Sport bumper variants through shared mounting architecture. Not compatible with vehicles equipped with night vision (option 610) or pre-LCI models manufactured before 08/2014.
Direct replacement for original components numbered 51117338571 and 51137367421. Requires intact bumper mounting points and original kidney grille frames. Professional installation recommended to ensure proper alignment with adjacent trim pieces.
Installation Procedures
Requires front bumper removal for proper access. Essential tools include plastic trim removal set and TORX T25 driver. Critical to engage upper retention clips before securing lower mounts. Post-installation verification of flush alignment with headlight housing required. Avoid excessive force during installation to prevent tab damage.
Compatible with: 2014-2017 BMW X3 F25; 2014-2017 BMW X4 F26 vehicles requiring left-side front kidney grille components referenced by part numbers 51117338571 and 51137367421
