Cool New X6 owner here.

Hello everyone,

I just got this 2012 50i a couple of weeks ago. I had a shop painted my front grilles. I know I know, it's not an ///M but I just love how it looks. I really hate those OEM yellow lights on these halo rings though.

Let me know what you think!

It's actually a Chinese license plate I brought back from China a few years ago. Since Kentucky doesn't require a front license plate, I thought it would be cool to have this blue plate mounted and you don't see a Chinese plate very often among other foreign plates in the states.
