Thanks Tizy for sharing with us...the car looks amazing with the body kit. I still think that the front bumper looks more sleeker and refined than the one on X6M. I already contacted my dealer and they have one on order for me and I should receive it sometime next month. Please give us a review about the car once your done with the test drive. Cheers

agreed the front bumper looks great, not sure if I like the sides and rear so much tho...I would love to see how just the front bumper would look with non-aero/stock sides/running boards and stock rear...

Yup...the front bumper fits all versions of the X6. As for pricing, they haven't give me any details yet, but they told me it's arriving sometime during June. I'm not sure, however, if they would only sell the front bumper because as far as i know it comes in a whole package that includes front bumper, side sills, and rear bumper insert. Regarding the paint, i'm sure it's not pre-painted, they do the paint job at the dealer, but still not sure if it's included in the price of the package. Anyway, I've already decided to install the package before even knowing the price...that's how much I really like the new look . Judging from these pics, the X6 looks more elegant and sporty.

It's obvious...from the pics above, look at the body painted part under the rear bumper, the middle lower part gets replaced by a new one. Compare that to a regular x6 and you'll notice the difference. As for the running boards, these has to be replaced as well by a new part. I already find these running board useless and I ordered them mainly for looks.

so a 35i performance kit gets 50i exhaust tips?
I am sure you can just order the front bumper alone, once available.....all m sport kits have that option as well...however I doubt you'd be able to order just the front bumper on a new purchase order, it would have to be done via retrofit/aftermarket

Yes, X5 Performance will be out in July.
The exhaust tips on this exact car are not Performance parts. This part was still not available when this car has been built. (will be out this summer) I canīt really say anything about power because this car is brand new with few miles on it and I canīt really push it too hard Last edited by Tizy; 05-16-2010 at 02:54 PM.. |

as I said itīs 35i with stock tips from 50i to look better (it would look bad with stock 35iīs tips). The Performance tips havenīt been available yet. X6 from Geneve is with real Performance tips.
