But you are not forced to buy them it just makes the car a bit "better" like cosmetic items.

I might be one of the younger people here when referring to this.

BMW should start thinking sell "season pass's" for their cars LOL

No mature man will ever ride a car with these silly stripes .

It's not BMW first M SAV. The E70 X5M was the first M SAV introduced at NYAS in 2009 alongside the E71 X6M.

But yes they could have done more with the X3M/X4M.

What is that kite on the side of the vehicle? Is that for reals?

These BMW M-Performance Parts have no connections with performance. This is basically a sticker package + a re-skin of the parts (floor mats, grills, etc.) that already exist.

The good ole days when BMW Performance was actually about... performance

Lmao no one even owns the X3M yet because of their delay failures, and they're advertising these parts all over social media. Maybe they should have made the car more aggressive from the start.

Dr.Deep · 06-03-2019, 11:34 AM

As other said, I don't see any part that would deserve the name „m performance" there, maybe they should start renaming it to „m cosmetics".

It's really a shame they still do not offer any parts that really are worth the money and bring you some performance...

Haha yeah for sure, but you know what I mean. Since they put them on SUVs here lol.

I'm guessing BMW advertises these stickers since they most likely have the highest profit margin.

Lol BMWs //Marketing department wouldn't have wasted resources designing and manufacturing (or outsourcing them) if they didn't think there are suckers out there that would buy them.

X5M and X6M are still classified as SUV's , that is a 1000lbs more weight than the SAV's

You're confusing BMW's branding with a general vehicle classification.

BMW markets ALL their X Models SAVs.

https://www.bmwusa.com/all-bmws/sav.html

In 1999, BMW introduced E53 X5 and branded it as a Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV) rather than an SUV, to emphasize its on-road ability despite its size.

Sure, technically X5/6s are SUVs, so are X3/4s and X1/2s would be CUV (compact utility vehicles).

Everything here looks pretty cool and decent.

But is it really necessary to read "Performance"? It doesn't need that branding the same as the "Competition" excess branding. Less is more! And the all Blacked-out rims look way better, but it should've been in Satin Powder Coat instead of tacky, pun intended - glossy black which will be very sticky due to the clear-coat.

And you shouldn't have to pay anymore for the same wheels in all-Black.

Has anyone else noticed they are always one generation behind with aftermarket parts? Now it just looks like they are getting lazy.
