I think I'm going to go with the all silver kidneys vs the OE which are silver around the outside and black on the verticals.

This is one decision that I didn't know I'd be making today when I woke up this morning.

Dangit... I've been scouring CL from here to Dallas looking for an X5 with that aero kit because of you TMV. LOL, my wife is not happy.
