U just took a stab at mrbmwx5?

Treading on thin ice my friend. Very thin ice. He's a vet here and very well respected within this community.

Btw. It might be more effort than it's worth to facelift it

Thanks for the video!...That's one of the SWEETEST X5s I have ever seen!!!

I always view mine while it is parked. If I were to see it in motion, maybe it would give me an entirely new perspective?

Given the opportunity I would probably go with a facelift. It's almost like getting a different car (or girlfriend lol). It will be new and exciting for you. I probably prefer the original look a little more but that's just me but both look great.

I'm not sure about the aero kit - I would skip it. Does this include the fender flares? Would like to see a side by side comparison.

The Ferric gray is great I may go for this myself. Seems a tad darker than gunmetal but not as dark as black. I'm torn between one of those and the gloss black (to match the Jet Black body paint). I don't think anyone has done it on a E53 w/Style 87's. Pretty sure it will look absolutely sick and it would be fairly unique. The look that seems to be in is the flat/matte black which I'm not sure I like as much as something with at least a little gloss (semi-gloss). I'm wondering how any of these will look with my stock chome trim (might have to switch that out - seems like it would be a bitch).

Oh yeah and sorry for sort of stealing your post but my poll is specific to only rims!

Okay I've watched the video four times, what am I missing? It looks like any X5 with style 87 wheels we've seen here on the site, the only thing I see different are the fog lights, is that the aero kit everybody is talking about, what is the aero kit?
