should I wrap mine?

My mate just wrapped his white X6M in frozen silver/grey.

I have a roll in my garage, I also like the smoked tail lights for a change?

Workmanship is near perfect

should I pull the trigger on both?

I think the matte wrap looks great but the X6 is one of the few cars which I really enjoy the Alpine White on.

Everyone always tells me the wraps come off with no paint damage but does anyone know if that's actually true?

Both are awesome in their own way. I like yours better personally.

Sounds like you need another car to tinker with to me : )

I love blondes with fake tits
I'm married to a brunette with fake tits which I like better so your point has hit home:

You see how quickly I get bored, need that GT2 project asap

Ha!

Can't go wrong with those smoked tails on AW. Looks like they did a really nice job - very dark, but with a touch of red in there still. I like how they left the white also.

Agreed, your car is perfect as it is. Maybe the smoked tail lights and that's about it

Stay white, best color of all IMO and your dark wheels makes your car the best I ever seen so far, I have a black sapphire X6M and hate that color, I bought the car used from the owner of the BMW dealership in Costa Rica and made a great deal ( for your knowledge a loaded X6M like mine with every possible option installed has a sticker price here of $210,000 US dollars.....)

I really don't like my color mostly because we get 9 months of rain in Costa Rica per year, so black never looks clean in such a messy weather.
I was seriously thinking in painting my whole car to white or dark gray, but I'm afraid to get rattles and noises after the job, is a crazy job, cost is not the issue here, is about $5000 US dollars, but putting apart the whole car makes my stomach sick.....

Putting a film is another story, but if you don't get a professional job, and I doubt I will find someone here, better stay the way you are

OP, your X6m is one of the best looking I've seen so you don't need to do much else. I agree with the thought process about the smoked tail lights though. I think that it looks great on the wrapped one, and would always look good on the Alpine White as well. I know its hard to pull the trigger because the outcome might not be as exciting as we originall thought.

I did see a wrapped, flat black X6 on youtube that looked awsome as well so maybe a little bit more research might set you up with someone who can do a perfect job for you if you decide to go with the wrap...

Either way, your car is already top noch... enjoy!

I think you have 1 of the cleanest looking X6Ms on the forum...would leave as is. Don't care for the smoked tail lights either. To me if not on the right vehicle, it just looks cheap. Just my lonely opinion though...

I would keep it the way you have it now, which is, fantastic. Although the frozen silver/gray is interesting, it's not really striking or memorable like yours. I think the wrap would also require more car than the paint. As for the smoked lenses, would go light or not at all. The car looks great.

+1 not a fan of smoked taillights. I wish there was a good LED tail light option.

Thanks

Maybe I should sell it and start over with a new Cayenne Turbo and put a Techart Magnum conversion with bugger turbo upgrades etc

+1... LED tail lights would be a great option if there were some available. I would imagine when the LCI for 2013 presents itself, a retro fit would be a nice touch...

Or how about the Hamann Guardian Evo? Very similar to the Techart Magnum but imo more agressive

Agree, LED tails would be great...I would imagine the LCI will have them and hopefully a retrofit would be easy. Time will tell...

Sorry Samurai...just re-read the thread and realized I pretty much repeated what you wrote.
