X6 50i m sport package questions

Hi everyone,

I recently leased a new X6 50i and Bmw doesn't list some of the little details that some of us care about. My car came with the m sport package and I want to know what it changes on the exterior. I can see "gloss black fender air duct" for sale for my X6 but mine are already black (paint matched) so is that part of m sport? I am looking at two X6 50i with and without the m sport and I cannot see any difference. Thanks

You know what, I just looked again and I can see the air ducts come in paint matched on the m sport but that's all I noticed. What other exterior features do you get? I wish it came with black exhaust tips!

From what I can remember, M-sport has different front and rear bumpers, different steering wheel, different transmission programming, black around the windows instead of chrome, painted side skirt, increased speed limit.

I'll be getting my tips powder coated eventually

Also includes the following:
Black roof rails
Paint matched fender flares
Sport seats
Black headliner
4 zone climate
Poplar wood trim
20" staggered (optional as part of M-Sport but most will include it)

I believe those are the addtl standard features Wavy didn't already cover.

Awesome! Thank you. Mine came with the 20inch m sport wheels and definitely has the black fender flares. I wish it came with black kidney grills and exhaust tips but that's an easy mod. I found black kidney grills but I really want them to say X6 on the front. They look so empty without the emblem. I had an m4 and M6, so I'm used to the emblem grills and love them!

Just curious, if I have adaptive m suspension vs standard suspension on this suv, does that only mean it adapts to the road but the actual springs etc are the same or are they upgraded?

Yea I believe the springs are the same. And since you have the adaptive M, the rear has air springs to keep the back from sagging when towing or have rear passengers.
