Widebody Kit for F85

Guys,
Currently contemplating getting a widebody kit for my white 2017 X5M.
Anyone with a kit now and recommendations? I had Hanmann kit on my 2010 X6M and it was great but looking for something more aggressive.
I really really like the Renegade Widebody kit from Russia. These Ruskies figured it out in terms of aggressive and sexy design.

The cost is Exorbitant at over $10K. Any thoughts guys?

I don't think anyone on this forum has a wide body kit, but just lips and things like that from RKP or RW Carbon.

That front fascia is a bit different.

Honest opinion here based off my tastes... that picture is ugly. It looks like a weird overtuned JDM SUV. Nothing says bmw about it anymore.

Thought about doing an RKP lip, lowered, 22's, wide tires?

As I told the seller, I need an earth car, not one from the International Space Station.
This is simply too much. I know they have a more conservative kit too.
Would not convert the X5M into a muscle car.

The biggest issue for me is the shipping. If something is damaged/lost in transit, not sure how easy it would be to make a claim/get something replaced, or how customer friendly the company is. As far as looks go I personally think that kit is pretty badass, absolute eyecatcher.

I personally dont like that renegade kit as I believe it looks a to tunning and the proportions are not right.

I think Lumma has probably one of the best on this generation model but will definitely exceed the 10K. If I assume it will be somewhere between 20-30K including wheels.

The main problem for me with most aftermarket aero kits, they don't blend with the original lines or you can tell right away that it is not designed to be with the car or designed together with the car.
So it just doesn't looks right.
As you can see on the OP's picture, the line of the fender or by the doors, doesn't match the add-on aero kit.
Only a few companies that able to match or enhanced the original lines. Such as; RWB for Porsche 911, Rocket Bunny on FRS, and some of the Liberty Walks.

You're essentially paying this company $10k+ to ruin your vehicle. I can think of ten thousand dollars worth of better ideas to waste my time and money on.

I have been in touch w/the guy for the past year.
Was interested in the rear roof and trunk spoilers.
They're legitimate, but this is bad imho...wouldn't want on any vehicle.

I believe you guys are all missing the point here with these WIDEASSKITS.

These kits are meant to be LOUD, OBNOXIOUS and most importantly stand out from everyone else.

Thats what I think. I could be wrong but why else would anyone want these wideasskits... I mean look at the OP its kinda like having a lime green lambo vs a more subtle color like white/black. Some peeps prefer some dont.

Haha, good one.
I personally wouldn't do it. Why ruin the perfectly designed 911.

agreed, why strip away high quality european sheet metal to install inferior plastic bits and slam the car too like a caricature of an ersatz 911 wb . they really do not do anything for me and would prefer a singer vehicle if an original or period correct restored unit was not available.

I'm sure tons of people hate liberty walks, I'm a fan myself so to each their own.

My guess this entire thread was a joke since the guy only has two posts and comes out of left field with this nonsense.

The front fascia reminds me of the Ghouls screaming at Brendon Fraser in "The Mummy".

I like the Gpower/Manhart style kits. Not as over the top as the one in op's picture but more aggressive than stock.
