If you think <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> toned down its third-generation <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x5/">X5</a> CUV a little too much with its latest redesign, the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/m+performance+parts/">M Performance Parts</a> line of optional parts may give you a chance to inject in a new sense of style.<br />
<br />
The aesthetic parts include new carbon fiber pieces for the mirror caps, front splitter, rear diffuser and rear aero flaps. There's also a rear spoiler, high-gloss black kidney grilles, M Performance rocker panel decals and double-spoke 21-inch wheels with performance tires. The interior upgrades are similar with an available Alcantara steering wheel with carbon fiber trim, stainless steel pedals and carbon fiber gearshift trim.<br />
<br />
Not all of the M Performance Parts are about style. The M Performance Power Kit sharpens throttle response and boosts power of the X5 xDrive35i to 320 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, an improvement of 20 hp and 32 lb-ft, and an optional exhaust with chrome tips improves its sound. For buyers looking for improved stopping power, the M Performance Brake Kit adds six-piston calipers with 19-inch steel rotors.<br />
<br />
While BMW has not announced pricing for any of the new parts yet, they give the X5 a pinch of aggressiveness before the next <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x5+m/">X5 M</a> is ready.
