You asked....

Don't do it! There are many other upgrades you could spend your money on that won't ruin the classiness of your X5. Are you interested in just exterior changes or interior, drivetrain, and electronics? Have a particular budget? A closer pic of your car would help others make suggestions.

no. go black, not chrome if you really think you'd like the guard. Check out bavauto.com for some more ideas.

I agree, no-go on the grille guard.

Do you have running boards? I think they make the biggest difference on the exterior. I also like the decorative front skid plate on most X5's.
