X5 Sport Pack?

silvergray545 · 08-30-2018, 05:15 PM

Long story short, my E46 M3 is basically turning into a full blown track car, so I need something to tow it with.

On the E70 X5s, it seems like it was pretty easy to identify a sport pack car. I'd like to get an F15 with the equivalent sport pack for that aggressive look. When shopping the used market, what are some dead give aways to identify those cars? Unfortunately, my knowledge on the X5s is very slim compared to the M3s. Thanks for the help!

It's called M Sport. It's quite obvious.

X line = non sport

Staggered wheels, gloss black instead of chrome around windows, larger air intake in bumper

Staggered wheels can come on non Msport as well.

dead give away is the front bumper (lower and side intakes, honeycomb pattern insert), lower side panels (painted, no steps - although I have seen few with people adding the integrated side steps), lower rear bumper (painted). OEM wheels

I miss my E46 M3! Good luck with the purchasing of an X5. Definitely, go with the m-sport package.

I love my F80 but I don't have an attachment to it like I do the E46! Such a great car!
