X3 Decked Out With M Performance Parts - Phtoos!

http://www.bmwblog.com/2015/01/29/bm...-parts-phtoos/

Alright, headline is funny, and I posted it under the photo section first, but it gets more eyes here. Car looks great.

Link may stop working if they correct the typo as it is also in the URL.

".......This BMW X3 xDrive35i gets a royal treatment with BMW M Performance Parts. The X3 SUV was equipped with a new black kidney grille with M stripes, a carbon fiber roof spoiler and M Performance wheels. A wrap was also applied on the roof to give the car a “carbon fiber look.” But the dealership has not stopped here. They borrowed an ALPINA front splitter and installed it on the X3 for a more aggressive look. Furthermore, the Abu Dhabi folks worked with Kelleners Sport to install a new exhaust system with four tailpipes, which makes the SUV look like an M car.

Under the hood, the X3 gets the M Performance Power Kit for N55 engine which adds more horsepower and torque, for a total of 326 hp and 332 lb-ft (450Nm) of torque.

Inside the cabin, the tuned up X3 stands out with the beautiful brown leather and white custom stitching on the seats.".........

Agreed. They should have installed M brakes as well. I think it is a huge oversight given the scope of other work done.

When I was in Abu Dhabi & Dubai, in 4/14 I didn't see many bmw, mainly RR , Porsche and Lexus. I remember the Mall in Dubai was giving away a Lamborghini.

Very true, it does!

I'm not usually a fan of aftermarket visual modding, but this looks "factory" and really stylish.

Agreed, they're slightly too "pimped" as they are...

do you think the black grilles would look good with CB ? Im waiting my X4 in CB and wondering should I swap the grilles or wrap the inner in black like these on the 3 series http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=736182
Any pics of X3/4 with such combo or full black grilles?

Is that lip made for the x3 ? It doesn't even seem like it lines up around the brake cooling mesh ducts. Must just be a poor design ?

oops I just googled the Alpina F25. Looks like that is a real lip. They usually set up their cars in Darker colors so you can't see the lines as well.

"They borrowed an ALPINA front splitter and installed it on the X3 for a more aggressive look...." presume that is why.

Lol I see why it doesn't line up now. Alpina didn't redesign the lip for the LCI Msport front bumper. They just reused the one for the Pre-LCI bumper.
