That's a stunning X5! Well played sir. I'm curious though, does the Aero kit help with the huge area of negative pressure in the back? Do you find that you get less dirt flying up onto your rear window?

Cheers,

Thanks!

If it's actually doing something beyond aesthetics, you got me.

make sure you post a quick thread on the tune once you get it installed..

i just got my 2012 X5 50i also and am contemplating it once i break her in too...

i also got the m-sport AW w/Cin interior and was talked into getting the aluminum triim by the dealer... glad i did, it looks awesome...

can't wait for the tune...

do you know if it will also change the tone of the exhaust a bit?

would love to have a deeper or more exciting exhaust...

Congrats! Pix? The Cin interior isn't as bad as I thought. I wanted black like my M, but I'm glad my wife convinced me otherwise. I like how it pairs against the black trim and alcantara headliner. It's a nice change.

The tone won't change and I'm not planning on modifying the exhaust as my M5 already takes care of that part, and I want to keep this Bimmer as my "sleeper". BTW - Have you stood behind your new beast and let someone else drive off so you can hear how it sounds? It actually sounds really good as stock. It sounds much different under load and when you're standing behind it. Try it. You might be surprised.

Nice X! Its similarly themed to mine I actually got the M kit on my X for the exact same reason you didn't, no one had on the pre-facelift. And I LOVE the new aero kit btw, looks better than the new M kit for sure! But you need to back out the front aluminium... all of it
