I've since done a few things to my car so the pics below aren't current. But I did have my rear lights clear coated to improve the texture.

Get a set of gunmetal or glossy black 214 wheels and it'd nicely complete the murdered out look nicely.

Around here, you won't look like Europe. You're going to look like a Taxicab from Tijuana. I've seen all the pictures from Dubai etc. There is something to be said for taste. You can't buy that. I've seen many modded X5's that are tastefully done. That's just not one of them.

I agree, but that is why folks need to do their cars for THEMSELVES, not for others. I personally like European modded BMWs (extreme) far more than the lightly modded ones Stateside (Europeans cars for Europeans drivers designed by European modders I suppose).

I like a lot of what I see come from Europe. But if you notice, most BMW forum members always hate anything Hamann or Schnitzer.
