X6 xdrive 50i TRANSFORMED / MAKE OVER

[AhJai]

My other family members had been using this X6 since Feb 2015. And recently I took possession of this X6 after selling my CLA45 AMG. I transformed it from a Pure Extravagance Design packaged car to an M-sport car.
MODS includes:
OEM M-Sport Bumpers, Side Skirts and wheel arches
OEM M-Sport Steering Wheel
OEM M-Sport muffler and tips
KW ST sports springs (Lowered F:30mm R:20mm)
Vossen VFS-2 Satin Bronze rims (F:22"X9J R:22"X10.5J)
Continental SportContact 6 tyres (F:295/30/22 R:335/25/22)
Replica X6M double slat gloss black grills
Replica Carbon Fiber M-Performance Lip
Replica Carbon Fiber M-Performance Rear Spoiler
Replica Carbon Fiber Side Mirror Caps
Body wrapped in Oracal Graphite Matte
Roof and Window trim wrapped in Oracal Black Gloss
All Badges sprayed gloss black
3M Window tints in 35%

Wow! What a 'makeover'!!! Great job

[Silververtu]

Great looking car! How's the ride with the KW spring?

[ofirhi]

Nice Job. Very clean.

I can't tell by the pictures but is your vinyl wrap more of a brown color? It looks grey in the garage pics but outside with the sun, it looks bronze.

Wow, good job. The best looking F16 X6 to date.
Need more of F16 X6 or F86 X6M getting modded.

Looks hot!!! but need to do something about those chrome exhaust tips which stick out like a sore thumb.

I agree, painting those tips black would make it even better.

Great job, I love the wrap color and the contrast with the wheels. Very nice!

Looks great, congrats. I have to say though, I think it looked great "before" as well. I LOVE the rims you had on the X6, I have those now on my '17 X5 and also on my last '17 X5. When I got my new F15, the wheels you got rid of, LOL, was my #1 must have!!!

Thanks! With KW springs installed, the ride is similar to stock but with slightly less body roll. I like it because its not lowered too much, similar to X6M stance, and no compromise on ride.
By the way, I see that we have similar taste in cars! I have a Cayman S too? Its 2014 model year!

The wrap is actually grey! I guess its the late afternoon sun and the fact that I just used my iphone to capture the photos that made it look bronze-ish somehow.

Thanks! Best looking F16?!?! I'm sure there are lots of nicely modded X6 on this forum too... But I'm flattered!

Originally I wanted to get Supersprint muffler and tips but might have issues with the extended warranty I bought from the dealer. So instead, I had them replace it with OEM muffler with welded tips (only choice for 50i). And they didn't have black tips! With no other choices then, I had to resort to what it is now. I'm thinking to spray them black but since it's welded, the shop that I go to didn't have confidence to do it. Anyway I'll figure something out later.

Yes the original two-tone style451 20"rims looked great too but after two years of usage, I thought the whole make over isn't complete without new rims!

Tell you the truth, there are about 30:1 modded X5 to X6.
Somehow, no one modded X6 or X6M as much as the X5 or X5M.

Same as modded 6 to the 5. More modded 5'er than 6'er.

AhJai... looking good.
A rare treat too see an x6 in HK. Likely 1 of say less than 50. Perhaps 1 in 10 50i. Surely the only 1 with Mod's.
In May I saw an x6 35i in Osaka, where German cars are oddity. That was cool.
How does it compare to what you traded in.
Do you get the chance to let it open up?

Great observation and analysis... I'll trust you on that!

Yes X6 isn't too common in HK.
It's really hard to compare the X6 with my previous CLA45 since they are two really different cars... maybe only straight line performance could be somewhat comparable. Actually the X6 has been in the family for 2 years and it has only become my daily driver recently, so I did have some chance previously to open it up a bit! The massive torque is addictive! Lol

Yes, in fact I am also from HK.
