Aero Kit for the X5d?

[Edge647]

I asked why the M Sport Package was not available for the X5d...this is what I got from my SA:

"The M Sport Package is not available for the X5 xDrive35d, as the SCR active tank does not fit under the front bumper cover of the M Sport Package."

Can anyone confirm? If so, any workarounds?
If the SCR tank is getting in the way - what other kits are X5d owners using that don't have fit issues?

Cheers.

Do you want M sport kit or Aero kit .. they are different things...?

OH...I didn't know that.

Well, the SA said that the M Sport Kit doesn't fit...does that mean the regular Aero Kit would?

I am thinking of adding something subtle....nothing crazy.

I'm going to be trying to put the aero kit on an X5 35d though I'm not aware of any reason it won't fit. It appears to me to be superficial, more or less sitting on top of what's already there.

For someone reasonably mechanically inclined, is this a DIY job?

Aero kit you will be ok .. M sport is a more major change .. and IMHO does not look that good except on a white X..!!
