BMW X5 xDrive48i with //M Sport package
Got an X5 yesterday and the first thing I did was customize her. All the matt black body cladding replaced by a better looking gloss white paint which instantly looks more sporty.

Also put some better and bigger rims on it which instantly transforms her looks. Now all I have to do is lower her and paint the calipers.

Nice get! Gotta love the X5, the white bits look nice, not so sure about the wheels though. Smile

They are the M-Sport type wheels but the tyre profile is just a tad bit too high. Also, the gloss on the wheels is a little too much IMHO. Maybe I will give it another coat of Matte black or something..

Nice!

I have a feeling that a set of deep dish alloys can take the cool quotient of this car to another level altogether.

Cyrus,

Nice try buddy. White shade is looking good. There is matt effect clear alos available, spray that on the wheels instead of another coat. The glear really gives a nice effect.

Cyrus, let me be blunt and say I'm not much of a fan of your custom works. But this one just blows the roof man, superb looks. I particularly loved the mesh grillwork beneath the twin squares on the front fascia. Also, is this a Kyosho that you modded??
