I'm still new to this whole X5 thing — are the arches (not just the arch lips) on the 4.8 wider? That looks beefy!

4.6/4.8 have the same wheel arch FLARES in the rear (arch lip in your words). Other models (most) dont have flares.

On the front all the stock X5 wheel arches (most) are the same (NO flares).

As far as the body, all the X5 models are the same - meaning the fenders and quarters are shared too (within their respective years).

So, no larger arches for the 4.6/4.8 vs other models - just rear FLARES added (not counting the front & rear spoilers).

Ah, must be the light then, as those arches (fenders as you boys call 'em) look really pumped up.
