Exterior differences between the 2007 -> 2012 E70's?

ApexM3 · 09-07-2011, 02:32 PM

My wife has an 07 X5 and i wanted to know what the exterior differences between all the releases are.

Was thinking about getting her a new front and rear bumper to bring it upto date.. seems to be the only noticeable difference to me. With the exception of the front and rear lights of course.

Are there several bumper styles within these releases?

The front would require new fenders as well. I believe the back is a little more straightforward.

Headlights are the same, the angel eyes are different.
