it amuses me that people are so attracted to body colored bumpers. Where I live they last about 5 mins before they start getting badly scratched up*— unless you use one of those ridiculous rubber bumper guards.

They call it a "bumper" for a reason.

I'll never give up my wifes genuine unique BMW X3 for something along any of those lines....
Dude, you're dissing the wrong line of cars, no need to hate on vw products they're superior product, and ford is doing well for itself too.

Yeah I dont understand why all the trim/bumpers are not body color, it doesnt do it justice and kinda cheapens it, rare in modern BMW styling.

Mine has the M Sport and it looks so much better.

With a big chunk of black color rubber/plastic, it is pure ugly (aside from the gorgeous M Sport) and is not premium at all. This is my theory why the Q5, with body colored bumpers, side skirts sell better - no matter you choose the least expensive or most expensive line. Funny is that the new X5's rear bumper is still quite ugly (again aside from M sport), although it has a bit less black "plastic" parts.

I am sure the LCI bumper will be all color coordinated (just like the LCI of the last X3). BMW has to stop playing these games - intentionally making a new car's bumper look ugly and fixing it in the facelift.

Hahaha... sorry hated VW/Audi products for 25 yrs and nothing is going to change that.... and the only acceptable Porsche is a 911... Fords are fine but they have cheapened the Rover brand, should only be 2 Rovers (Land & Range) everything else is an overpriced Ford.
