would they do that for. If you don't get a jet black or blk sapphire this

bullshit really stands out and looks horrible... At least make these models

all monochrome paint.. I don't understand, they smarted up with the

new X3 and make it monochrome paint if you opted for the sport package.

but why not the X5. pics are attached of the X5 versus the X3 in terms

of the monochrome paint...

This is probably beacause of the fact that this is supposidly an off-roader, it may never go off road but it still needs to be able to perform in that area, so the plastic is there to stop something breaking or more likely, the ability to keep it clean and free of scratches down there.
