Lack of a heated steering wheel means my next X will not be an M-sport. Once you've had one, you do not want to give it up!

I think, for you... heated headlight washer is also mandatory.

thanks for the pics of the rails...but honestly why do they have them if you can't tie anything on them... WTF??

looks like train track rails...

honestly, what do you put on them?

and whatever happened to the original roof rack that actually works?

my 08 isn't like that!

Yeah, personally I don't like the M-Sport Pkg. Can't believe they charge you extra and give you less for that. The regular 07-10 front and rear looks great imho, and with the Aero Kit, just awesome. No Aero kit for M-Sport I think.

How does a X5 M Sport look like a station wagon, but the non-M Sport doesn't? They are the same body style, just slightly different front and rear bumpers.

Not to start a feud (I know it's been discussed in older threads), but you guys really think the X5 looks better with the black plastic trim? The main reason I got the M Sport Package is for the body colored front & rear bumpers and wheel arches. Just my $0.02. IMO, the black plastic trim makes the X5 look cheap, kind of like these:
