Anything but the aero kit! I vote facelift with feric 87s if you plan to keep it for a while. If you don't, I'd suggest not really fixing it much and pocketing the money to put towards a newer ride.

There's a Aero kit close to my house and to be honest it looks ugly weird and unnatural.

How about this. Color match whole truck " paint all trim pieces the same color " and go with those 87s. Maybe drop it like a inch or two. Would be nice . I think. Minus facelift.

If you go with facelift ... You will need headlights wiring harness ... If you do let me know I can make the harness for you.

I think any of them will look good as long as you do something different in the wheel department. Why is everybody stuck on style 87 wheels, you'd think these are the only wheels on the planet. I've got some 22" AC Schnitzers Type II's on the way for my '02 black 4.6is, can't wait to get rid of the 87's, Hartge makes some good looking BMW wheels also. They don't have to be 22's but at least do something different style wise and then you'll stand out, especially from the other X5's on this site.
