What looks different?

Dinan-M · 11-16-2015, 12:43 PM

Looks like a Lexus. I have notice BMW cars looking more like the Asian cars. Have BMW hired a new design team? I miss the european look. Don't get me wrong I love my BMWs ... but lately they're looking more Asian than european. Thanks.

OP did a great job here.

Looks great!

Powerbeast · 12-30-2015, 10:21 AM

Looks great, I would have left the BMW colors in place on the roundel and only make the outer chrome black.

gerritg · 12-30-2015, 01:54 PM

I love it. I would do the same. My will come in March 2016..cant wait.

gerritg · 12-30-2015, 01:55 PM

it remind me somohow of the Aero performance front bumper of the old X6 which was really huge. Now with the inner black its looks more like a beast

Steve.RVA · 01-04-2016, 12:09 PM

Looks excellent. Did you powder coat the rims as well? Could you post pictures from a different angle that show the rims? I have donington/mugello X5M, and am very satisfied, but was always a bit disappointed there was not an option for black rims, as was the case on the '15 and '16 M5. I prefer not to buy aftermarket wheels, so I am trying to evaluate powder coating options for the stock rims.
Thanks

This is the OEM Winter wheel/tire package. If you're looking for black 20"wheels, you might want to contact your BMW parts department.

I'm picking up our x5m from getting the middle section painted black like this in just a little bit and ill post up pics

robbys3m3 · 11-05-2016, 05:57 AM

Got it back (the ppf is still curing) and happy with the look and fits our theme...the only change I may do is matte ppf to match the side inserts...think I'm either/or there.

Incredible looking X5M. I love how the black wheels and mirrors contrast with the white!

When you wrapped the cross bar on the front grille did the wrap over your sensors? or did they do that portion separately? It looks fantastic as thats the exact look I'm going for with my X6M albeit i have the 611M that I'm considering getting painted in black. Just curious to know if the wrap had affected the sensors in any way, in regards to causing them to think there was an obstruction in front of you.
