Opinion needed for rear aero kit.

-c- · 06-16-2017, 08:47 AM

Well installed part of the rear aero kit last night and have been on the fence about the rear for a while as I've never really seen one in real life and wondered if it be two much.

Installed the center piece last night and figured I'd install the left and right winglets later and thought maybe it looks better without them and leave it as is. Or does it look like something's missing?

What do you guys think?

Took this shot this morning,

Those look more like 21s or 22s. I'd love them on my X5, but NJ roads would put them more in the wheel shop than on the road.

Just a quick shot of the front aero kit installed.

Thanks for the feedback guys about leaving it without the winglets.... just torn...

. Ahhhh first world problems lol... getting the X5M calipers and F85 cross drilled rotors installed next weekend, can't wait!

Oh yes almost forgot, yea their the 22" version of the 310m wheel I believe.

It's the OEM BMW M performance aero kit for the standard LCI x5 it's about $600 for the whole kit front and rear.

Copies have been made and can be had from eBay but the fitment is not that good.

As someone who also runs the aero kit, I say put the winglets on. Pics dont do the rear justice, your color would look really nice with them.

I dont think you will be disappointed! Will make the rear a little wider to match the running boards.

Still waiting on those F15 fog brackets..
