I like it, but the front bumper seems a little busy. Blacking out that huge front grille will make a big difference.

I know, it's just amazing that the look says "smaller" in person. Says "larger" in pictures.

Doesn't the e70 also have fog lights in the same area?

Plus I am pretty sure all the lower openings will be functional as cooling ducts. This msport makes it look more x5m than it does the previous gen.

I'm little disappointed based on the fact that they did not increase the length at all and the 3rd row remains absolutely non functional as usual.
Front looks reasonable, rear end so so..

The front doesn't look too bad but the back is a disaster. A pity. Maybe it looks better in another color or in real life.

I definitely like the looks of the regular one than this M. The back kind of looks like a minivan whereas the regular one has the breakup of the matte black. Just my opinion though.

Am not sure how it will work, but it is there to help you activate it all (PDC, automatic parking available Dec 2013 production, etc.). Basically "all in one" button, so that you do not have to go pushing all kinds of buttons and drill down idrive menus.

Again, not sure how it will work, but smtgh along those lines.

It looks even better in person. The people that complain and hates the new x5 are the people that bought the '13 x5.

Looks amazing

This looks so much better than the released pictures, definitely looking into placing an order for the first allocations as soon as I get my mind set.

Cover the foglights and the small grill opening across- much better.


Will have to look into after market front end.

I think it is growing on me so much, I really do like it. but oddly enough, this might be the first car that actually looks better with a front license plate holder rather than without.....

that thin strip vent under the kidneys is kinda weird. I like the lower vents however.

The white one looks like the new M3's fat mom with a mustache - familiar and nice traits but on a wrong body...

How many openings do you need? And the foglight placement is just wrong.
+1000.....i am hoping after market companies come out with a fog light delete option...then it would be perfect

X5

Hot as fuck! M Sport look good! White is definitely the best look for X5 M Sport. I would love to add matte graphite (multi spoke) Vossen VVSCV4 rims.
