I thought you guys in America had good taste.
I'm sorry , but this X6M looks really terrible IMO.

What's the point of getting an X6 to make it as low as an M3 , or almost as low ?

Because that's what he likes? That's what makes modding so great. It is to your own personal taste. I would not criticize someone because of that. If you love the way your car looks would you care if everyone called your car terrible?

Sure , to each his own
I didn't want to offense anyone - I was just sharing my thoughts.

I'm surprised to see how many people here are linking it.

If we all liked the same thing then where's the originality. To each their own buddy

I can raise the car to stock height and take a picture just for you if you like.

That will be awesome :thumbs: !

But you can't change the wheels as fast

[gizmo958]

i wouldnt say it looked terrible , i quite like it . of course i would raise it alittle bit but excellent car non the less

[pterodactyltactics]

For the purists out there. This is driving height. Should I raise higher and take a picture? Lol

[Alberta]

It's better , but still to low (for me) ahah

[AlexLou1222]

The wheels are fine, style is almost like every other modded wheels for X5M?!

Only thing different is the air runner, which can be changed on the fly. Thus equipped cars usually just parked low to have the 'stance', and driving at normal height for better comfort and road clearance. If you look into 'VIP' tuning there are a lot of cars that sit extremely low and wheel fitments required pulling fenders and low offsets on super wide wheels. The styling has large following.

OP just apply the style to a X5M, I would say it's good thought and unique

+1. I like the wheels. Nice tint and awesome concavity in the rear. Good choice.

Of course, to each his own.

How does it handle/ride compared to stock?

I've learned from all the years from modding my cars that aftermarket suspension doesn't always mean the car handles better. It might look better but handling is a entirely different thing. If it handles and rides better than stock with the option to lower and raise on the fly then

When I just had the kwv3 on there my handling was improved immensely , unfortunately with the air I haven't tried to take any tight corners or anything like that but the ride seems fairly similar at cruising speeds . I'll try to chime in when I get some real hours testing the suspension limits as safely as possible haha

Birthday Gift Fi Exhaust installed.

if anyone has catless DP's and you hate the rasp, get this exhaust. The x pipe in the mid section completely gets rid of the rasp and it sounds amazing. Ill try to get sound clips soon.

thanks to auto talent for the recommendation of this exhaust

I would like to see it raised slightly. The wheel choice you put on it looks great.

The wheels make it look more aggressive aesthetically and the color is a very nice compliment to the metallic paint. Well done.

Any pics of the airbag setup? Would love to see the engineering behind this.

[pterodactyltactics]

So i did some experimenting, decided to paint the fender piece full body color. The theory i had in doing this is, the oem piece backing plate is matte black, and i never understood the design from bmw on this because every previous and current M car has a distinctive and aggressive fender area or fender vent. If i had to be picky which i am, i was super disappointed on that part of the car so i thought painted the backing plate body color would flow better and show the vent more.

Well i did, i just don't know how i feel about the part that was chrome, i kind of like the look (more than stock 100%) but i may do the trim gloss black and keep the backing plate body color. Never the less this combination doesn't exist and maybe some of you can treat it as a test dummy if anyone was ever wondering to do this or not. enjoy
