I'm not feelin' the oversized air dam in the front.

Isn't the power all about the air intake though?

None of the ///M cars have fog lights.

All the M3s and M5s I have seen here are having the fog lights :popcorn:

Not in the UAE or Qatar. The fog lights are only on the 5 series with the M sport kit.

I learned never to judge any BMW before seeing it in person.... So I cannot comment on the X5 M until I see it.

I would have to agree, even though this car just makes me want to smile.. It does lack quite a number of things, but the one odd thing is the front bumper..the 4.8is is more enclosed and shows agression, while the ///M is a bit to open. ie. gaping holes.

Really what they should've done is not have made the Aero Kit an accessory, but used it on the M model like they did with the 4.6/4.8.

Can't do in this case due to TT engine.Reason why facelift is also getting those intakes.

I don't mean literally. They should have done an aero kit type design with the new fascia.

:iagree:
I think the full body color looks much better than the E70s with the black trim. I also think it looks more aggressive and gets more looks :wow: than the black trim bodies.

I believe the solution is to wait to see some pictures of a X5 M in black or another very dark color such as monaco blue to see if it improves its presence.

I agree. The X5 looks weak as the M sport package does. The contrast between black and other colors makes the X5 looks aggressive and differentiate it from other boring one color vehicles such as other SUVs. The SAV concept from BMW is unique and the black trim is an essential part of it.
