BMW M Performance parts will be available for the F15 BMW X5 from March 2014. The theme is similiar with previous M Performance parts launches - mostly carbon fibre and generally having an aftermarket look.

The M Performance range for the exterior includes a black kidney grille, a front splitter and exterior mirror caps in carbon, air ducting elements, a diffuser insert for the rear apron and side sill foils with M Performance inscription, and chrome or carbon tail pipe tips. For the interior, there's an M Performance sports steering wheel with red central marking, gear lever with carbon surface, accelerator, brake pedal and driver footrest in steel and BMW M Performance floor mats.

It's not all show parts though - there are some go bits too. You can equip your X5 with BMW M Performance brakes with blue calipers. If you have an X5 xDrive35i, you can install the BMW M Performance Power Kit which increases output to 326hp and 450Nm of torque, increases of 20hp and 50Nm respectively. The BMW X5 xDrive35i also has the option of a BMW M Performance silencer system for a sportier sound.
