My X6 w/ Performance Package

What's up guys...As promised, here's updated photos of my X6 with Performance Kit. Just to give you an idea first, I have 2010 X6 50i which took delivery of last December, however, I haven't had a chance to post pics. The car is fully loaded with Oyster interior leather.

The X6 now has the performance package including the black kidney grills. Honestly, these photos doesn't do the car any justice...The X6 with performance package looks amazing in real life, more sporty and aggressive. Also, the package gives you the impression of the car being lower...I guess because of the side skirts and the lower bumper. Also, those performance grills are awesome. I didn't expect them to look that good. The frame is black metallic and the inside matt black. It perfectly complements the whole package. The rear fins and spoiler are sold separately, but actually, I didn't not like them that much. By the way, I noticed the X6 turns more heads now

I would like to note that the kit would look best on lighter colors, especially from the rear and sides because it shows the body colored parts more clearly at night. Mine doesn't show as clearly because space gray tend to look darker in the evening.

Regarding the performance power kit, the difference is definitly noticeble when compared to stock 50i. It's not huge (like X6M), however, you do feel that the car is faster and the throttle response is more aggressive...I noticed it pulls harder even on higher rpm. Also, I noticed that the exhaust note sounded a bit louder...not sure if that has to do with the new performance software, but I could be mistaken. As BMW stated, 100 km/h 0.2 seconds quicker. I think it's easy now to clock the X6 under 5.0 secs. Overall, I think the upgrade is worth it given the price and warranty. Plus, the X6 is now more fun to drive.

Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy...Cheers

Did you order the performance package as an upgrade or when you order the X6?

I agree - the rear is clean and subtle. You don't need to have good pics, it already looks awesome. Congrats!

Thanks guys...Actually photos in daylight will be more clear and will reveal more details. The garage manager asked me if I wanna install the front plate...actually, I wasn't planning to install it, however, it's required here by law...So I didn't wanna take a chance.

hard to tell form that angle, but are the wheel arches painted to color match/no more black trim? If so, did the kit come that way or did you have the arches painted?

looks great...

Thanks...No, the wheel arches are unpainted. They might appear painted at certain angles because the lights are low in the garage. Besides, the photos are crappy...I'll post more clear shots once I receive the car.

Price

If you don't mind me asking how much did your dealership charge you for the body kit and the install? Not including the engine work? I ask because I'm looking to get one but my dealership is debating price with me.

Took my car back yesterday to the dealer for the performance tuning. I should be able to receive it tomorrow...hopefully the extra power will be worth it.

When I installed the package, I received fog lights error message because the new bumper doesn't have the fog lights. They have to do some programming to fix it.
