You can hate me for saying this, but I prefer the looks of the normal X5 with m-sport package. The front of the X5M looks funny where the bonnet terminates with the front bumper (that weird gap and the extremely sharp edges surrounding it) and the rear looks dated for some reason, perhaps should have done a different bumper design and location of the exhausts. Just my 2c.

On another note, I drove the Audi Q7 V12 TDi - now that is a beast

These aren't my pics btw - these were taken at a local dealer by the salesman.




CCB's on a SUV!


They got rid of the ugly rear lights and updated it with the new LED version.

 

I agree with this. The factory aero kits (m-sport) are much "prettier". However cant argue with the performance of the beast.

 

^ agree with Mike as well. I think the bumpers look okay, and the car will be great in Black with different wheels. But something else is wrong with the M. Maybe the lack of roof rails...
*Looks like they are only a $100 option.

I'd take mine in Sapphire Black with Silverstone leather. And some 22'' (stock is 21'' right?) HRE M58 in charcoal.

 

the X6m and the X5m Look amazing, didnt get to drive the M yet, but the only concern I have woulb be that the exhaust tips look too small for my liking.
