New X5: M-sport pack or Performance Kit?

Hey guys!

Im about to buy a new (white or deep sea blue) X5, but can't decide on the exterior options:

1) take the M sport package (pity it doesn't look as good as the X5M)

2) or take the new Performance Aero Kit (the black plastic here bothers me quite a bit)
There're only few photos of this kit installed and all the cars are either blue or black so you can't see all the details and images from the official website have just too much photoshop.

What do you folks think about these 2 options?
Is it possible to have the black plastic painted/replaced directly by the dealer?

YouTube - ‪BMW X5 & X6 Performance‬‏ that's the new aero in white.

I do think the M-sport pack is better for the LCI, but don't think you can go wrong either way.

Someone on bimmerpost has alot of photos of areo pack in blue.

IMO:

Msport steering wheel + roof racks + Areo Kit = Perfect (To me it looks like the new age 4.8is) In any color except black variants.

If you must paint the platic bits, have a non black car and paint any left over black plastic in gloss black, it looks amazing. (A dealer trusted paint service should be able to do it)
