I was thinking the same thing! It looks like a lego version of a real car that someone then built into the real car to look like the lego version.

Yup. BMW cost cutting becomes more and more apparent every generation.

True M does not need air suspension, those buyers that need “ride quality” need a non M vehicle.

The Cayenne turbo and Urus does it and has a great stance and still offer a good highway ride as a SUV needs to have. BMW is either behind or is holding back on the X5M to save money.

ehy does the new x5 have arrows for daytime running lights??

There ya' go, if they do it it must be needed.
Stick with the non M, problem solved.

People on this forum are never happy smh

Am I the only one who thinks it is bizarre that these cars don't offer the "full leather" option? You can get extended leather but not full! 100k car with scratched shiny plastic and hard whatever trim everywhere. Pretty shocking. Was a 2.7k option I always gladly paid for.

I doubt it; Proper M variants always get their own parts. Plus the lip wouldn't fit an M as it will not be the same bumper.

needs a little tire dressing on those bad boys.

You can have ground clearance without wheel gap. The F85 was not as goofy looking with the excessive wheel gap the F95 has. Again, the F85 had rear air suspension and it handled well in addition offered a great deal of passenger comfort. I lowered on Dinan suspension kit and ride quality was not sacrificed in any way but improved looks.

F85 is so classy inside and out. i miss mine.

Same. I had Dinan Stage II installed with exhaust and it was a very well rounded vehicle that combined performance with practicality.

Rear spoiler looks interesting and prob fits the pre lci x5.

Do you have to order them when you build? or it has to be installed after you get the car?
