X5/M fenders on reg X5

Would it be possible to put the M front and rear fender flares on a reg X5?
It looks like a separate part and probably is, seems to be an add on.
Has anybody done it?

The m-sport package for the X5 has fender flares just like that. I assume that you could, but look at how the lower section integrates with the piece that runs along the rocker panels. I think that's also different between the SAV and the M-sport/M...

My understanding is that the wheel wells are also slightly different in shape. I could be mistaken, but pretty sure I saw that spec. That would indicate entirely different sheet metal for the rear quarters at least. The body itself might even be flared more.
