I like the styling -- the exterior color looks good to me. I agree that the interior color does not look great but I wouldn't kick it out my bed/garage...

I expected a bit more from a M-Sport though. As R8DX5 said, it should have bigger pipes.

not feeling it.... maybe it's me...

not crazy about the color coded bumpers... or maybe it's just the entire color!!

the exhaust tips really need attention... for an M-sport dual tips would be perfect! (oval from the 4.8 would like normal)

wheels are ok...but the 214s would be better... or AC Schnitzer wheels..

interior doesn't really match to vehicle's color... (one extreme to the other)

an M-sport should really stand out and not look like an afterthought that almost anyone can do with their "stock" X5....

But isn't that better for us who already have the E70?

I assumed that the M package was just the trim and aero kit stuff and that the large cuts for the exhaust was to accommodate both the 3.0 and 4.8 exhausts. Is this really M performance? Off to search before I get flamed

I don't get the small pipes either.
