M Kit vs Aerokit

I have heard that the flares on the m-kit is wider than the ones on the aerokit? Can someone confirm please?


What do you guys think of the M-kit? Any comments?

Yikes DEETZ

I suggest doing some searches. M-kit is very different to aero kit. Lots of posts on both in last couple of months.

I have actually browsed all the photos. I am not digging the M-kit, it does not look aggresive. However, I am still wondering if the flares are wider because they cost more.

thanks guys for the information.

I made a decision to go with M-kit flares + ACS front and rear.

Obviously having a M Sport E70 I am going to be biased in saying you should go for the complete M Sport Kit. In my opinion, In terms of aesthetics and aggressiveness the M Sport is superior to the Aero Kit. Its only when you compare them side-by-side that you can have an over all comparison of both. When I parked along side an E70 SE+Aero mine seemed slightly lowered. Hopefully these pictures will help in your desision.

The painted fenders of a black M-Sport look better. Otherwise, I like the aero-kit on other colors.

Thank you very much Kelly!

Well in my opinion, the rear on the M-kit is really nice. It looks alot different from other tuners and the aerokit itself. Considering I have a white X5, it might not look that great with the M-kit. If I bought the black one, there is no doubt I go this way hehehe! Thank you! I want to try to be different and do the ACS kit with the black bumper contrast on this white car like the aerokit. I am hoping it looks great, since I have a lil bit of experience with white car before.

In addition, there is already a black X5 with M-tec kit here in Indonesia with huge 22" Velano wheels. I want to go a different route.

+1. The M-Sport looks great on dark colors like Black.

Love the contrast of the aero-kit on light colors.
