I am so confused... can someone actually suggest me which ones to buy?? I think the glossy look nicer and the matte cheaper but on the other hand matte will probably fit nicer on my sapphire black with the aerokit... it will match the plastic parts of the car...

You've just answer both of your questions. Now close your eyes and pick one.

If you have to have it painted, why not just paint it the same color as your X5?

It'd look Great!

My $0.02; gloss is more fitting on a lux SAV.

High Gloss Black. I had my grills custom painted HGB and it looks outstanding. My M used to have Matte, before I went to Carbon Fiber and I wasn't a fan. Matte is much cheaper, but HGB is much nicer.
