Better without. Cleaner that way.

I'll give you my honest opinion on it.. On some cars it looks good.. especially the 3 series Msport or the actual M4/M3. On a Msport X5 and MX5 that has been modded pretty nicely.. I think they look great too.. but on a Xline or Luxury line I think it looks out of place.

I would still say it looks really weird to me. Even if the cars extensively modified

Took a trip to the hamptons today

Sorry for the quality

Kzang · 06-13-2015, 05:54 PM

I did at first too.. but once I was exposed to it more and more with other BMW's I guess you can say I started to appreciate it. Similar to how originally I disliked the F15's new design and after a year or so of seeing it everyday multiple times a day I started to like it more and more.

Thanks guys. I thought they look kinda tacky too. Oh well it's only $5 I won't feel too bad about it.

I like the color stripes. I have a white on black F15 MSport 5.0i - where do I get these? How do they go on?

Dusted off my SLR camera today and snapped a few shots while my daughter was napping in the car. Had to make the most of my time lol

Taran.J · 06-14-2015, 11:40 PM

+1. Alan, those wheels look really nice and your car just looks awesome. Thumbs up and great job on the mods.

Alan l. · 06-15-2015, 09:07 AM

Thanks guys.

Wheels are 22x105F and 22x11.5R

Did not lower it. That is the stock Adaptive M suspension. Someone said that its already slightly lower than the standard suspension but I can't confirm if that is true or not.

Saw this X5 35i xline yesterday in LA, was wondering if it belongs to anyone on here. It has a red stripe on the hood, both side mirrors are painted red, and it has a full matte black wrap.

Can't mess with those cool kids

Alan l. · 06-15-2015, 10:28 AM

Exotic cars could barely pull off matte black. A bone stock X5 looks horrible with that color. To each their own i guess....

thags · 06-15-2015, 10:28 AM

took the x5 to the top of Windham mountain
