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. bmw x3 m performance parts 2 750x500 BMW X3 with M Performance Parts Phtoos 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."......... some photos from the link:

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

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.

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.
