2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d - BMW Performance & Aerodynamics

[rh71]

jealous, everytime I see a white LCI I'm jealous... nicely done with the aero / performance pkg, though I like the style 336s better than these. How much did they charge for the aero kit? Is the steering wheel done too? I think the wheel flares would help a lot too.

Haha thanks I love the Alpine white. The aero/performance pkq makes the truck look way more aggressive IMO. I bought the truck cash as is from the show room so I didn't really look into what each thing cost seperately but when I get a chance to look at the papers I'll let you know !

Oh, you had bought it already modded from the dealer? I think that its odd that they put 21" wheels on it, but didn't put on the flares. A 'user' after-the-fact I can understand, but that's a glaring error for a dealer.

I think that you should get the flares and see if you can get someone to paint them for you (not all shops will paint the black plastic, but I've seen more than one instance of people having that done on this, and other boards). That would look awesome.

"Glaring error"?!?! Hardly, dealers look for the biggest flash for the lowest cost- find a sucker walking by that doesn't know what it "should" look like.

Yeah, exactly what you see in the pictures is exactly what the X5 looked like in the show room, i haven't done anything to it...yet! As for the flares, I will look into some and maybe ask the dealer why they weren't on the truck in the first place. I appreciate the info, I never knew anything about flares and what not

Doesn't matter as long as the truck appeals to me my man. That's why forums like this one are super helpful...
