Especially with all those gears.
Thanks for the vin decoders.. I will check them out this evening.

I like the bigger wheels too. 18's and even 19's are too small, IMO.
The M Sport package has a different body kit altogether from the non M Sports - different style wheels, different steering wheel, and yes the ///M door sills and ///M dead pedal. Also all body parts such as the wheel arches and bumpers, are painted body colored vs. black (see pic below).
There were 4 trims for the 35i - Base, Premium, Sport, and M Sport. Sport and M Sport will have black window trim and 19's standard with many having the optional 20" wheels. The base and premium will have the chrome window trim and smaller wheels. The base has 18's, premium has 19's.
The 50i has 3 trims - Base, Sport, and M Sport, with the above info applying here as well.
M Sport package (shameless plug...this is mine
)
50i Sport package (notice different bumpers, wheels arches & door trim are black, different style wheels. 35i Sport Package will look the same, just different style 19 & 20" wheels )
Base/premium (no wheels arches, 19" wheels, chrome window trim
This site below will let you build an E70 X5 just as BMW's site would allow back in the day when E70s were in production. You can see all the different packages and options, so you know whats available...if you're interested. Lots of cool features, you might find something you definitely want (like comfort seats, most agree they are a must-have), and then the decoder will tell you if a particular X5 has them if you aren't sure in pics. Link below defaulted to a 2012.

If you go here -
https://www.bmwusa.com/ - you'll see a 'Certified Pre-Owned' link at the top (
http://cpo.bmwusa.com/). It's worth a try, but not many E70s on this site anymore.
How about this one below in Houston? Not heavily optioned but has the Sport Package w/ 20's & Active Ventilated Seat Packages (which includes the must-have comfort seats). Also has the Premium Sound Package and Active Cruise Control.
