Friend in South Carolina sent me these pics - possible competition package?

My friend sent me these pictures over the weekend of an X5M parked at an apartment complex. This is just a few minutes drive from the factory in Spartanburg. Anyway, I have not really kept up with the X5/6M's, although I am a huge fan, simply because I do not have a need for an SUV, so please forgive me if these have been posted!

The only difference that I can see is the tail pipes are black, which has been a typical addition of the CP. Other than that, just the BMWE emblems have camo, so maybe I am just getting trolled!

Here are the pictures. Curious to hear thoughts from more knowledgable owners!

Looking at the larger pictures it appears that there is a change on the "lip" on the air intakes on the left and right of the bumper (the part below the circle fog light). It appears to be black and possibly vented?

Those tips aren't black, they are just dirty. You can still still part of the chrome on them. Looks like a normal X5M.

I thought that too, but my friend said they were gloss black! He is a professional detailer so I hope he can tell the difference!

Mine are like that and mine is not a special package.

Perhaps stupidity? Generally, when BMW tests things on their cars, they camo the Blue/White Roundel, and also debadge the car, so it doesn't still have, in big chrome letters, X5 M right there for the world to see.

Also you would think it would have the Ceramic Brakes and Gold colored calipers, like the rest of the "M" C.P. family.

Oh ok thank you for the input! It looked different to me in the blurry picture, but I have never even seen a new X5/6m in person other than passing one x5m on the street! So that means the only thing that is different is the exhaust tips!

Very strange. It is definitely some type of test vehicle as my friend said there were different bmw documents and notes on the passenger seat. Unfortunately I asked him to go out and get more pictures, but the car was gone and has not been seen since.

That was the first thing I said as well when I saw the pictures, but my friend said there was a bunch of different bmw documents in the car that indicated it was a test vehicle of some sort. He owns an e46 M3 in phoenix yellow, and is a bmw fan, but like me he is not very familiar with the x5/6m cars so we didn't know what to look for when the car was there, and unfortunately now it is gone.

The CCB's are not part of any competition package that I am aware of.

Wish I knew! It is probably nothing, just a car from the factory, but I (and I'm sure many here) get excited when they see any car with some camo on. I spotted a new ZL1 (i think that is what it is) fully camouflaged a while back! That was very exciting!

My M6 in the background!
