Aero Kit or M-Sport Kit????

Maybe it's me, but I really think the Aero Kit looks WAY better on the E70 with 20"+ wheels, than the M-Sports Kit does. Anyone else agree?

I know the M-Sport Kit is not available yet in the US, but the more I look at it versus the Aero Kit, the more I like the Aero Kit. I was so hung up on getting the M-Kit, but the more I look at it now, the more I think the Aero Kit is a better choice (cheaper too!).

I agree. I think that is especially so when there is a high colour contrast between the vehicle colour and the black bumpers.

Agreed. My plan is to install the aero kit and the M side skirts and wheel arches. All painted of course. Should look pretty slick.

I orders a SE in preference to a Sport 12 months ago 9M Sports has been avaiable in the Uk for 15 months now) as in Space Gray you need the black to break up the bulk. All pained the same tend to make it look bulky Audi Q7ish. Also the self colour blck does not show every stone chip.

So you're going to lose the running boards?

Nobody here knows. Anything else?
