Alpina updated it's gallery with some LCI XD3 pics. Look pretty good!
It has similars bumper wings as the M Performance models (X5M50d etc)

The x-line style of trim pieces across the front bumper huge intakes are a big improvement over the MSport.

Not sure if I understand, this is the M Sport bumper but with inserts. Don't know if these are the same as x-line.

That's what I meant. The inserts are like the x-line ones.....whether they are x-line or not they make a big visual difference to the MSport bumper.

Wonder if the M Sport actually has the bar but it is coloured black ?? Pictures of the M Sport have been so poor. I have taken a chance and ordered the M Sport and hope it looks better in the flesh. If I can get the bar coloured that will be a bonus

No slats on the regular M Sports, must be an Alpina only thing. Not sure if you could purchase parts directly from them.

I'm kinda interested in their XD3 Akra exhaust for a 35d X4

Anything come of this?

Don't really feel the front lip add-on but i like the bar over the big intakes (which I think are fake anyway?). The LCI M sport is much more appealing now.

Yes, fake on the original 28i, which was normally aspirated, but not on the 35i turbo. I haven't checked on the new 28i turbo.

Agree- Alpina can keep that lip spoiler, it's the lower grill inserts that I'm after.
