Wow, are you serious! Are you sure that there is going to be a M Sport Package in July 07? A lot of people will wait for the "M Sport Package" if it is going to be released in July 07 which is only another 8 months from now. Btw, have you seen the M Sport Package? V spoke 223 wheel - how is it look like? I think there is only a 211 (19') and 214 (20') wheel at the moment.

how long after the release will they be selling for 500 over invoice?

Those parts are new super-aggressive M bumpers, rocker panels, etc. Most of them in body color.

The new X5 top model - "is" replacement - will come later with M package standard, while it will be optional for some other models.

Mind that M body kit & Aerodynamic body kit are NOT the same thing.


The car looks amazing with M kit! Such a killer!



ML AMG or Q7 S-line look tame compared to X5 with M body kit.

When's the M kit supposed to be released?

Where exactly is the seam between the fender and bumper?

Summer 2007. When we will also start to offer entry-performance model in Europe. Diesel powered.

I'm not 100% sure it is coming to NA market as an option. It is possible NA will get standard M package later with top-end performance model ("is" replacement) only.

Is there a reason the e39 540i was the only model to ever get the M-Sport kit?..what seems to be a continuing tradition.

Will there be two diesel models? The existing I6 and a revised V8?

X-Drive, can't wait for the sports package...haven't seen the pics yet, but I`m digging hard!

Scott, the 4.8 X5 that comes out with the M-kit (if specced with this kit), will it automatically get the 4.8is classification or just the 4.8i.........so is there a 4.8is coming out after the 4.8i.....?

Thanks for the update!
