And yes, the facelift X5 will also have X6 like air dams in bumper.
The non-Ms will have the integrated fog light in the air dams like the current X6, correct?

From facelift pics i've seen from member Palbay, i don't think the fogs will be in the air dams like X6 but in the bumper...

^ interesting, didn't notice them before with the camo. I really don't like that placement at all - not like they had much of a choice otherwise.

87's are just about perfection on an e53, but they would look out of place on an e70. It is a completely different beast.

I agree with everyone who says that the wheels on the X5M are lacking. They just don't look substantial enough for an M vehicle, IMO.

Although not 87's...these look out of place on the E70 to you?


These don't look that far off from 87's...


IMO aggressive wheels look great on any aggressive vehicle design...i'm convinced with gunmetal 87's...but then again, to each his reach, right?

The 168's translate better onto the e70, IMO.

The only thing that the wheels on the black X5 and 87's have in common is that they are 5-star designs. The wheels you posted are a more modern interpretation of the 5-star, IMO. They look much better on an e70 than 87's would.

I just test drove the X5M, and I have one word to describe it...M-AZING! The exhaust sounded sick, and the throttle response was crazy!! I wasn't crazy about the Silverstone, but I loved everything else about the car.
